I have always had a love for the river Stour. I was brought up living in Great Cornard and spent most of my childhood days on or near the river. I joined the Sea Scouts in Sudbury when the old hut was at the bottom of Quay Lane. I enjoyed canoeing most of all and trained through to a 3 star qualification and a proficiency certificate. I was fortunate enough to work as a canoeing instructor for a while in Devon when I left school and also went on to work as a part time youth worker with special skills teaching rock climbing at a basic level to youth club members in Kent. I took the plunge and set up my own business Electromobile in 1991 and have been self employed ever since apart from an 18 month "time out" when I carried on running the company under new ownership before buying it back and establishing it as a limited company with my close friend and business partner Graham Moore. I now help the Sea Scouts in Sudbury as a part time helper. Together with Tracy my partner we own a rib called TC, details of our adventures can be found on these pages, Rib-TC. I started this project www.riverstour.com on the 18th of September 2006 as a way of offering website publicity to voluntary organisations with the overheads paid for by advertisers. I have asked for the help of sponsors during the set up stages.
