It seems like years ago, but our Coracle Races were enjoyed by hundreds of spectators who joined the Carmarthen River Festival back in July.
The Towy gave a warm welcome to the Teifi coracle men who came to take part in the races. It's great to see the two rivers join forces and support each others coracle event.....even though they sometimes take our trophies!
There were several coracle races: The Mayor's Cup (Winner: Malcolm Rees), The King of The Towy (Winner: Ian Harries), Relay Race (Winners: Malcolm Rees and Joe Woodhead) and The Coracle Society Novice Race (Winner: Dana Rees).

A coracle for sale, made by Bernard Thomas in the 1970's. It belonged to a coracle fisherman but he wanted a new one, so sold me his used one around 1976. It has been kept indoors all this time and has never been used, just for display purposes. We visited Bernard and he gave me a paddle that he had made. Price - £450

The Society was saddened to learn today of the passing of former member Dick Mundy, who died on Saturday 13th February following an accident he was involved in. Many members will have known Dick through his involvement with the Bures Coracle Regatta, or his time as editor in the mid 2000s.
We send our condolences to his family.

These are my first attempts at making coracles from willow. The willow was cut on the Gwent levels. I have made two shapes, one round and one a more rectangular shape - they seem to have turned out quite well
