My brother Dave Nicoll who was a member probably from 1996 when he built his first coracle on a Terry Kenny’s course on the weekend of the Ironbridge regatta of that year, died on Saturday 20th April after a short illness aged 85
1934-2013: Raymond Rees MBE
17 December 2013
It is with great sadness that The Coracle Society announces the passing of Raymond Rees MBE, aged 79. Our thoughts are with his son and daughter-in-law, Malcolm and Julie, and the rest of the Rees family at this time.
Raymond was one of his generation's most well known coraclemakers, playing a key part in preserving coracle heritage in Wales. He was awarded an MBE for services to coracle heritage in 2011.
The funeral will be held on Saturday 21st December at St Peter's Church, Camarthen at 10.30am. All are welcome to attend. The Society will forward on to Malcolm and Julie any messages of condolence from members - please send them to the Secretary
