I’m delighted to inform you that the registration for this year’s ISKA symposium is now open.
It will be held in Mulranny Park Hotel, which is a wonderful venue, surrounded by a beautiful and varied coastline with loads of paddling opportunities.

It will be the usual mix of paddles for all levels, skills development, AGM, raffle, guest speaker, dinner and socialising. Looking forward to seeing you all there.
