REDDITCH folk can attend a two-day course at Arrow Valley Countryside Centre to revive an ancient boating tradition.

The centre is running a coracle making course on May 22 and 23 from 9.30am-5pm.

The coracle comes from the Welsh word cwrwgl and is a one-person boat which has a history dating back thousands of years.

When experts have helped people make their coracles and waterproof them, they can be taken home.

The course costs £120 and booking is essential. For more details, call 464000.
