Members receive the acclaimed IWN magazine published quarterly (Inland Waterways News). The magazine is packed with inland boating information and articles on all aspects of the navigations, reports, association, waterways, and branch news.
Boat Rallies and reqular Cruise in Company events are organised by IWAI branches throughout Ireland. These include the Shannon, Lough Derg, Dublin Canals, Shannon Harbour, and Corrib events. Rallies are family oriented fun events with activities for all ages including games, competitions, watersports, training and boat handling fun events on the major rallies over a week.
