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!

13 July 2005 - Melbourne; The Melbourne Argonauts are gearing up to compete in the Montreal 2006 1st World Outgames regatta. Twenty rowers have already registered and those numbers are expected to climb as the year progresses. In the lead up to the games, the club is hosting a rowing boot camp in Nagambie 23-25 Sep 2005, and a women’s rowing camp in Dimboola 02 –04 Dec 2005. The club’s competitive boats will also participate in the upcoming Rowing Victoria regatta season.

Many rowers and clubs are faced with deciding between competing in the Chicago Gay Games Regatta and the Montreal World Outgames Regatta. According to Argonauts spokesman, Peter Sagar, the club decided to make Montreal the principal focus because the regatta will be staged inn the Montreal Olympic rowing basin. The course is a fully buoyed, 6 lane international standard course. Many of the rowers are also very proud that the regatta will be sanctioned and calendared by the world international rowing body, FISA.

The Melbourne Argonauts welcome other Australian rowers to join them in Montreal. Any interested rowers are encouraged to email the club. Sagar’s parting comment: “We look forward to meeting and racing the world in 2006 in Montreal. SEE YOU THERE!”
