As may have been mentioned before, anyone attending with a boat will need to be a member of the IWAI (Inland Waterways Association of Ireland). You can join online here of save the following to you PC (right click on the image & then 'save image as'), print them off & post them.

If you wish me to email the forms to you, send me a PM with your email address & I will forward them on to you.

Rushing around like a mad thing Howard to get the boat & meself ready. Not helped by Beaulieu boat jumble being on this weekend at which we have a big presence this year with Sir Malcolm Campbell's Bluebird K3 joining us on one of our two stands, including engine runs (providing the Beaulieu 'elf & safety people allow it - we are having to give them a demo on Saturday afternoon to see if she passes muster :roll:).

The Stapely is now functioning albeit not quite finished, a trial run on Southampton water on Monday at 09.30 was successful so fingers crossed for next weekend in Carrick.
