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
Annual Basketmakers' Summer Meeting 2012
01 December 2012
We were asked to attend the Annual Basketmakers’ Summer Meeting on 23rd June at the National Botanic Garden of Wales, Carmarthenshire where they were displaying and demonstrating traditional Welsh craft basketry.
We displayed our traditional Towy coracle and several photos of how the coracle is made and it’s history.
We were helped on the day by two young members of the Society, Miss Jaymee Rees & Miss Mia Rees - granddaughters of Mr Raymond Rees, who proudly wore their Society sweatshirts.
A representative from The Basketmakers’ Association said, "It is very encouraging to see that the craft is flourishing and there such enthusiasm in Wales."
