Had a great day yesterday at a 'Volunteering and the Inland Waterways' conference. Accompanied by Pat from the Community Board, we spent the day hearing a wide variety of speakers share their thoughts and ideas on engaging volunteers with our waterways.

A fab way to get some inspiration and be reminded of those great plans we all have that get pushed by the wayside under the general day-to-day work. Some excellent ideas were discussed in the day so watch out for some exciting new schemes and events coming soon!

Thanks to the Association of Inland Navigation Authorities for organising the day, and providing the best conference food I've had yet!
