Welcome to the Boyne Navigation – I.W.A.I website

Current Workday Notice – 19th October 2024 – Lock 1

 

We plan to hold a workday on Saturday 19th October 2024 from 10:00 at Lock 1

Our planned work: A big tree has fallen across the canal, so our primary aim, is to remove it on the day.

The last day (August 2024): Installation of display sign at Lock 1, to mark Heritage Week. A survey of the Oldbridge section isintended to be done, to see what changes have happened along this waterways section, in advance of resuming work during Autumn.

Volunteers always welcome.

We provide free magazines, produced by our parent group and give them to all takers, drop by if such might take your fancy.

With any luck we’ll get to work Saturday week as well.

Hope to see you along on Saturday,
