The Inland Waterways Association - founded 1946 The Inland Waterways Association believes that Britain's waterways are a valuable national asset, are of benefit to all the community and should be available for everyone to enjoy. Without the Association, inland waterways would not exist today. IWA continues to support restoration, to campaign for the improvement of existing waterways, and to fight for the rivers and canals that are such an important part of Britain's heritage. In the Solent and Arun Branch we support the restoration of the Wey and Arun Canal and the Chichester Ship Canal. We are backing the Shoreham Slipways campaign for a replacement public slipway for Ropetackle. We are involved with the conservation of the Itchen Navigation structures, and the restoration of Botley Bark Store and Parish Quay on the Hamble. We keep a watchful eye on other waterways, too, including the Titchfield Canal and the Portsmouth and Arundel Canal. Our campaign cruises aim to make practical and enjoyable use of the waterways of our area, drawing attention to their beauty and to their challenges in a more public manner than private boating can. If you have a canoe, rubber dinghy, small boat on a trailer, or can reach us with a larger boat, we look forward to cruising with you. The information on this card is a summary.
