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!

22 November 2004 - Rio De Janeiro; In a first but important step into the South American continent, GLRF received its first registration from a Brazilian rower. Rowing is a popular sport in both Brasil and Argentina, tracing its roots back to the 19th century and European settlers. At that time, it was considered the sport of the aristocracy and a prime way to get the attention of the ladies (hem, hem, we assume a few men were watching too). As a result, rowing was one of the most popular sports. Although rowing has long been surpassed by futebol in popularity, it is still pursued with a passion at the local and national level.

Follow up note: GLRF received its second rower registration on 11 Jan 2005 from a university student in Sao Paulo.
