Overview

NABO was formed in 1991, to represent the owners of boats using the inland waterway system of the UK by a group of boat owners who believed that the existing organisations did not adequately put forward their views to the waterway authorities at the time. The organisation is managed by a Council group elected at an Annual General Meeting in November each year, which consists of up to 12 volunteers, who meet in Birmingham every six weeks. There are no specific regional meetings or sub-committees, but each county has a Regional Representative on the council, a River Users Coordinator to look after the special interests of boat owners on rivers and a Continuous Cruising Representative.
