Adding News Guidelines

Would you like to add a news article? Great!  We would love it if you did. All submissions require approval before publication so here are some editorial guidelines:

 

Latest News is meant for articles that are of interest to the gay rowing community and the GLRF community.  Topics of interest might include:

 

  • how your club is doing something for gay rowing or being supportive of the gay community,
  • what you as a GLRF member are doing for the rowing community,
  • if your club is sending a squad or team to compete at a gay-focused regatta,
  • if your club or team is featured in the gay media.

 

What may not get past the editorial desk are stories that are club-centric (gay or straight) such as coming in first at such and such regatta or hosting a fundraiser or enjoying an end of season shrimp on the barbie.  We do have an outlet for that and really encourage GLRF members to explore that: create a blog on GLRF for your club!

 

Want to run an article idea past the editorial first? Sure! Just send a PM to glrfcentral!

16 January 2015 - Bulawayo; GLRF increased its country membership representation once again when a current member updated his profile to reflect his residence in Zimbabwe.  GLRF now counts 42 countries with members.

With the new GLRF Countries application, we were able to bring the GLRF Zimbabwe country page online in less than an hour.

Although rowing in Zimbabwe is not well-known, the country has had several recent high profile rowers winning at the Under 23 World Championships as well as compete at the 2012 Olympics.

A recent World Rowing article, highlighted the accomplishments:

Quote

Peter Purcell-Gilpin won Junior Sportsperson of the Year and Junior Sportsman while Micheen Thornycroft was runner-up, Sportswoman of the Year. Thornycroft's coach, Rachel Davis won Coach of the Year.

And where does one row in Zimbabwe? At the Hunyani Rowing Club on the Mazowe Dam, of course!
