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!

29 April 2014 - Sacramento; For the third time in four years, GLRF hosted a booth at the 2014 Western Intercollegiate Rowing Association (WIRA) Regatta Championship at Lake Natoma, east of Sacramento, California, United States 26 - 27 Apr 2014.

Like the 2014 San Diego Crew Classic, rain (in California?!) threatened to dampen the regatta vibe. Crews practicing on Friday afternoon returned to the shore soaked to the bone. Luckily, the temperature was warm enough that most of the mens crews were happy to strip to the waist (and sometimes a bit lower ...

) and the womens crews made it a sports bra afternoon !!!!  o)

Heavy rain continued through Friday night but stopped at 5:30 am, just before all of the vendors began to set up.  The races started on time and the wind didn't pick up until Sunday midday.  Sunday's championships victories went to a variety of talented crews: University of California, Santa Barbara, Western Washington University, Sacramento State University, Loyola Marymount University, and San Diego State University, among many of the victors.

GLRF was happy to welcome visitors at our booth from almost every school at the regatta.  As usual, the wild and crazy spandex shorts and tights were the big hit although many of the rowers stopped to ogle the naked rowing calendars.   The GLRF Bisweptual shirts and Sweet Release shirts were once again the big hits.
