Cox Box Squax Issue 015

Surprised to hear there are rowers in India? You shouldn’t. The first Indian rowing club was established in 1858 and the first international regatta was held in 1882. Today, India has a vibrant and competitive rowing program. A warm welcome to our newest country and rower. Your GLRF India Global Rower page awaits.

GLRF will host a booth at the Head of the Charles 21 – 23 Oct 2005. Want to connect with other rowers? Post a topic on the ALL OARS message board: look under Regattas for Boston – HOCR2005. Check the Head of the Charles webpage for updates.

What could be better than summer in January? Try hanging out in Melbourne, Australia. After a very successful first run, the talented Melbourne Argonauts will host the second Midsumma Regatta, again timed to coincide with the Melbourne Midsumma Festival.

The GLRF booth at the Royal Canadian Henley was warmly received by both rowers and the local Niagara community. A lone derogatory comment by the Regatta’s grandstand announcer prompted a front-page article in the sports section of the local paper. Read the news.

As rowers begin to prepare for the Montreal and Chicago regattas, GLRF has fortified the Rower Seat Search and the Boat Seat Search programs to better help rowers find boats and fill boats. More improvements are planned as the service transitions to a dynamic, database driven program. Check the listing or post one for yourself.

Just call it a makeover. A new format for the GLRF Chicago and Montreal Regatta web pages will keep rowers current on the latest news and rowing information. Take a look.
