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!

04 December 2006 - Doha; On the occasion of the 15th Asian Games, a rower from Doha registered with GLRF, expanding the worldwide community presence to 23 countries. The registration also marked the first membership in the GLRF African (Afrique) continental area. There are now six continental areas represented within GLRF: North America, South America, Europe, Oceania, Asia, and Africa.

Rowing has a long tradition in the North African region. World Rowing recently reported the resurgence of rowing in Iraq. A review of the Qatar Rowing and Sailing Federation website indicates a strong commitment to develop rowing in the area and announced the arrival of new boats earlier this year.
