The Inland Waterways Association (IWA) is pleased to announce that the venue for the 2010 IWA National Trailboat Festival will be at Newport, Wales on the Monmouthshire & Brecon Canal.

The festival, hosted by the Monmouthshire, Brecon & Abergavenny Canals Trust, will run over the Spring Bank Holiday between Saturday 29 May and Monday 31 May. It is being marketed as the Welsh Waterways Festival 2010.

The festival will be sited at Kimberley Park at Malpas offering over 2 miles of open water canal. On the main line there will be the Gwastad (No 34), Bettws (No 35) and Ty Ffynnon (No36) locks available to use, together with Lock no 2, the first on the lower Crumlin Arm.

An interesting addition to this festival will be the availability of a second smaller site at Fourteen Locks (Rogerstone) offering a further ¼ mile cruise and restored lock. Boat owners who are interested will be welcome to visit this site after the main festival is finished. Arrangements can be made for any boaters wanting to extend their week to visit other areas of the Mon & Brec.

The Trust plans to use two trip boats over three days for public trips. For more information contact Chris Morgan on 029 2088 8681 or email chrisbmorgan@aol.com.
