IABA is working with Blocworx to make the system more user-friendly and efficient. IABA has also sought the input of county boards and provincial units to contribute to that process.
Clubs who have not been up-dating their new members since the beginning of the season in to Blocworx are advised to begin doing so now – this will ensure that the affiliation process for your club takes as little time as possible.
