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 November 2003 - Chicago; GLRF hosted the first of its 2004 City Launch awareness events in conjunction with the GLRF visit to Chicago for the annual meeting of the Federation of Gay Games. The purpose of the City Launch events is to create awareness of GLRF among gay and lesbian rowers and to create greater awareness of rowing among the gay and lesbian community in each City.

The City Launch Social was held in the heart of Chicago’s gay community, Lakeview, at Hydrate. Twelve rowers braved the mid-30 temps (~3 C) to sip bartender Mike’s Rum shooters and chat up rowing. Attendees included a local rowing crowd dominated by women, as well as rowers from Seattle and Colorado. Take a look at the ad in the Chicago Free Press displayed here:
