Shoreside is the base registration when all members register.  As a Shoreside member, your membership will never expire.  You have access to most of the features on the GLRF website except the Find A Member feature found on each of the GLRF Country pages in Members, the community search feature, and the Shop At GLRF discount feature for gear purchases. 

The OnTheWater upgraded membership provides all of the base Shoreside member features and includes the additional features: Find A Member in the GLRF Country pages, the community search feature, and the Shop At GLRF discount for gear purchases.  The upgraded membership lasts for 12 months and if not renewed, will lapse and the membership will be downgraded to Shoreside.

As an individual membership organization, we want to stay in touch with our members.  If someone registers as coach@xvzrowing.club, and they move on, that person won't be reachable. 

Recently, we wanted to reach out to an Australian rower but he had used a company domain in his registration.  He had long since left the company and we have no way of contacting the member. 

User experience.  If a member hasn't logged in for two years, we have to assume they have gone inactive.  We want other members to be able to contact them by Personal Message (PM) or when a member comments about content a user has posted: gallery, forum, event, etc.  If our active members don't get a response, they may feel like the GLRF community isn't a rewarding experience.
