The Coracle Society has been invited to attend the Bewdley River Festival on the weekend of 15-16th September 2018. If we have enough numbers to run a regatta it would be on the Saturday, or if there will be just a few of us turning up to do a coracle demo then it would be on the Sunday.
ALL aboard! The guys from Frome Men’s shed made an appearance at the Cheese Show earlier this month – showcasing their handmade, oar powered floatation device – the almighty coracle. It was made for a race which took place in July – after the Welsh Men’s Sheds Association threw down the gauntlet late last year.
Maiden voyage for coracle (and owner!) on a recently refurbished section of North Walsham and Dilham canal. Norfolk's only sailing canal but ideal for a coracle.

My son and i have just finished our second coracle. The first about three years ago was a heroic failure, too deep and round on the bottom.

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
