Viennese rower joins GLRF

The GLRF worldwide community continued its European expansion with its first membership registration from Austria. The GLRF community now counts members in 24 countries. Although still unconfirmed, it is believed that the new rower may have learned about GLRF through its booth at the 2007 FISA World Masters in Zagreb, Croatia [Hrvatska].

Austria has a rich tradition of rowing and hosts some spectacular regattas in both the north and south of Austria. It is hoped that the addition of Austria to the GLRF community will draw interest from rowers in Poland, Slovakia, and Slovenia. Of course, now that a Global Rower page has been created for Austria, we hope more Austrians will come forward to create a thriving local community within GLRF.
