Some photographs of a school outing to Goring undertaken by Fred Hoskins' 4th Form
class in 1956. The pictures were sent by Kenneth Watson, who writes: "During this
outing Brian Howett and Geoff Lane managed to capsize a canoe whilst boating on the
Thames. For the rest of us it was probably the highlight of the day and most amusing.
However for Geoff and Brian it was not so amusing as somehow the local press got
hold of the story and managed to turn it into a life saving incident. The photographs
are of class members on a Thames pleasure boat later in the afternoon following the
canoe capsize incident."
