Insurance Queries

Posted on May 22, 2011 by itowa
  • All club members who have signed their clubs affiliation form are insured to train at the training address given on the form provided the club have paid their registration fee.
  • Pullers are also insured to train at the training address of any other club provided that club have registered and paid their fee.
  • Registered pullers are insured to compete at all ITOWA provincial and national championships and at any event where  a permit has been granted.
  • We can confirm that the personal accident policy has a death benefit of €20,000 covering the accidental death or permanent disablement of individual members of the association. If a member suffers serious injury which is contrary to medical advice (i.e. use of the sauna) then they would forfeit their cover under the policy.

Irish Teams do well in Daventry

Posted on May 10, 2011 by itowa

Irish clubs, Boyneside and Killoughey as well as Eire Og, the youth development squad traveled to Daventry last weekend where they flew the flag well with a number of fine performances.

Eire Og, winners of the youth 520kg

There were five teams in the youth 560kg competition and Eire Og pulled very well winning the gold medal defeating Gloucester from England in a very exciting three ended final. Eire Og completed the double winning the gold medal in the youth 520kg without loosing a single end. Well done to the lads who have dominated in Daventry over the last few years. Five teams took part in the Ladies 560kg with Boyneside pulling well finishing in third place just behind the very experienced Sheen & Bedford ladies teams.  The result was the same in the ladies 520kg so well done to Boyneside ladies, the first Irish ladies team to compete abroad in a long number of years. The Boyneside team also won the silver medal in the mixed 4×4 600kg competition.
