NEW POWERBOAT BRANCH

IWAI has announced the formation of The Powerboat Branch the 21st branch of the association. The objects and ethos of the branch are to promote the use of the inland waterways to the many people who use powerboats, RIBs, PWCs, and sports boats from trailers and marinas anywhere on the island of Ireland and indeed further afield. The first meeting will take place in Cox's of Dromod, Co Leitrim on Fri 21 Jan at 7.30 PM. A committee will be elected, a calendar of events will be approved, but most importantly we need founding members, like minded people to help develop this new Branch. Single Membership is €44 & family is €55 per annum and all of the privileges of IWAI membership apply with quarterly magazines over 200 organised events, training & funding but most importantly lobby power. With 4000 members our voice has become known as the voice of the waterways and with increasing legislation we have found the voice of powerboat users is simply not being heard. Since Powerboats are in fact the most likely target for regulation, it is vital that your voice is heard. Please come along on the night or if you can’t make it join on line here. or contact Paul on 086 8217712 or Cormac 087 8376614 for a membership application or more information. Have safe fun on the Water.

See Powerboat Branch website
