Montreal Launches New G/L Rowing Club

By glrfcentral, in News,

Philippe Colas and Philip Hedrei have partnered to create a g/l rowing club in Montreal, CLUB d’Aviron ODAWAGAN. Phillippe had always wanted to pursue rowing and was dismayed at the lack of a rowing entry in the Montreal 2006 bid. Philip, an avid collegiate rower, yearned to get a boat together in Montreal. The two combined forces and now have some 40 rowers and with Philips coaching, a very competitive slate of boats! Congratulations Phillippe and Philip! Over the course of the summer, the team rowed in morning and evening sessions and were able to launch two eights and a four.
 
Update: 08 Oct 2009 - The Owawagan Rowing Club has gone into hibernation but the Montreal Rowing Club openly welcomes gay and lesbian rowers.

GLRF incorporated in California

By glrfcentral, in News,

Following several years of planning and discussion, GLRF finally took the plunge to become an incorporated, nonprofit entity within the State of California. This action allows GLRF to begin the process of attracting tax-free donations from US residents, and provides liability protection to the organization.

Following almost three years of work and two membership applications to the Federation of Gay Games, GLRF was admitted to the FGG as an Organizational Director. This milestone is important to the g/l rowing community because it adds an official voice for rowers and allows direct support to a Gay Games event through planning and coordination.
 
There are a total of 21 Organizational Directors, 12 of those are City Teams and 9 are Sports Organizations. Each Organizational Director is permitted to have two delegates and two votes.

Lambda Rowing International was officially renamed Gay and Lesbian Rowing Federation. The name change was deemed necessary to better identify the purpose and function of the organization.
 
Although many names were suggested and considered, it was decided that a self-explanatory name would serve the best interests of the gay and lesbian rowing community.

Row y`r boat

By glrfcentral, in News,

Dutch Gay News magazine writes a profile piece about gay rowers at the Willem III rowing club in Amsterdam. Journalist René Zuiderveld speaks with John Avis, regatta organizer of the 1998 Gay Games and current board member The focus of the article looks at gay sports, and rowing in particular, two years after the 1998 Gay Games.
Ever since the Gay Games took place in Amsterdam, already two long years ago, the gay community couldn`t ignore anymore the hundreds, no, thousands of gays and lesbians who like nothing better than sweating it out in some kind of sport. So Gay Business Amsterdam, organiser of the city`s annual Gay Pride weekend, wised up and since those memorable Games days has diligently included sports events in their four day program. After last year`s success with athletes active in football, volleyball, swimming and rowing, Pride 2000 will once again welcome queers from all over Europe to compete in their favourite pastime, but also to revel in the special atmosphere of the Dutch capital when it turns pink all over for one gorgeous long weekend.
