Following Discussions with the Host Club, the Committee have come to the decision to Cancel the 2021 Waterski Nationals.
The decision was not taken lightly, however with the slow roll out of the Covid 19 Vaccine in ROI, especially for younger people, and the rise in Delta Variant Cases we are putting Public Health first.
