Carrick-on-Shannon Branch of IWAI have equipment that has been built up over the years to help our members enjoy the river life even more. The following equipment is available to all current paid up branch members for short term borrowing:

  • 4 Kayaks
  • 3 Paddle Boards
  • 2 Gas BBQs
  • 4 Marquees

Any paid up branch member can request this equipment for use at boating related activities, rallies and events. A great perk of being a Carrick member!

How to borrow

The equipment is kindly stored in the Branch trailer which is located in the Carrick-on-Shannon Boat Club. To ensure that our equipment is kept safe for all members to use, there is a clear process that has to be followed by all, if you wish to borrow anything:

  1. Please email the Branch secretary (carrick@iwai.ie) who will advise the Chairperson and Property Officer accordingly. The Property Officer will then make arrangements for access to the trailer and the Boat Club.
  2. The Property Officer will record the item loaned in the “Equipment Sign Out” form and keep a record of all items on loan and any issues which arise on return.

Important notes

  • Under no circumstances should members attempt to visit the Boat Club directly to borrow equipment – all applications must be made as noted above so this is kept fair to all members wishing to borrow gear.
  • The Branch Member borrowing the equipment is responsible for the any damage to equipment borrowed.
