GLRF Reserves Booth at 2004 UK National Rowing Champs

The Gay and Lesbian Rowing Federation application for a booth at the UK National Rowing Championship RowShow was accepted today. Officials welcomed the application and only asked if a space was preferred inside the big marquee or out. The decision was made to apply for space to raise the visibility of GLRF within the United Kingdom. British rowers in the know suggested the Nottingham venue as one of the best for exposure and foot traffic. The championships are scheduled for 17 and 18 July.

As a result of the booth, GLRF will host an informal social in London the Thursday prior to the event, to help publicize GLRF, increase awareness of gay and lesbian rowers, and develop interest in forming boats for the 2006 Regattas. No location has been secured but any rowers with ideas are encouraged to send their suggestions to p2dir(a)glrf.info .
