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!

GLRF UK Membership more than 10% Worldwide

11 January 2010 - London; GLRF United Kingdom membership surpassed 10 percent of the GLRF worldwide membership in mid-January.  

GLRF United Kingdom membership, although focused mostly in London (58 members), has members in 7 other administrative areas: Southeast (11), East (7), West Midlands (4), East Midlands (4), North East (3), North West (2), and Yorkshire and the Humbert (2).

Since GLRF encourages active as well as inactive rowers to join, the All Oars Groups provide a wonderful way to connect those who are interested in meeting other rowers.  With so much interest in rowing in England, it is only a matter of time before other groups develop, either for athlete communities, such as juniors or university, or for other regionally-focused areas such as Manchester, Birmingham, or Leeds.  A small women’s group has formed in London, known as none other than London Women.

The ten percent milestone is important as GLRF strives to build an international membership that is not perceived as just a US community.  GLRF United States membership has now shrunk to just 62% of the worldwide membership community as membership has grown in Canada, the Netherlands, France, and Germany.  The end result is of course, a connected, worldwide community.
