Canvey Canoe Club
Photos
After reading George Chambers interesting page on the Canoe Club, I sorted a few of my canoeing photos out.
The photo of G Prout presenting a trophy to Mr Ives (Ives Shoes) also shows many of the club members, they are all familiar but can only put names to a few, am sure someone will complete the list.

I wonder if the kayaks in these photos are from Prout, and would also be grateful for the model. I am a member of the Historic Canoe and Kayak Assn (www.hcka.org.uk) and have been attempting to obtain photos, etc, of Prout kayaks – I used one when working for PGL Voyages on the River Wye in the late 1950s early 1960s
Yes I can confirm that it is David Souster, in the back row. Cliff and Enid Souster were my Grandparents, Meriel Davis (nee Souster) my mum and David, my uncle
