SUMMARY:Welcome back to Parham for Jose Weiss 115!
DESCRIPTION:In 2007\, 2008 and 2009\,  Southdown GC hosted a unique trio of VGC Rallies. \nThe last of these  gloriously celebrated  the centenary of   what  the late Martin Simons calls the world’s first soaring flight\, when Eric Gordon England   gained maybe 50  feet altitude  over the South Downs (very close to Southdown’s Parham site) in the Jose Weiss bird-shaped glider called Olive. \nSouthdown GC has become an outstandingly successful club\, blessed with its closeness to the finest soarable ridge in the South of England- and often some very benign  sea breeze fronts as well. \nFrom 17-21 June this year\, we invite VGC members to join us once again!  Very sadly \, many of our previous visitors are no longer with us\, but we welcome those who maybe have not flown at Parham before\, as well as those who still remember that wonderful trio of rallies.  Incidentally\, although the rally officially opens on Monday 17th June\, we anticipate and welcome some ‘mission creep’\, with arrivals and departures in the weekends before and after the rally itself\, particularly as the weekend of 22/23 June is our habitual Longest Day event! \nIn recent years\, there have been some changes and improvements at Parham. In particular\, the Clubhouse has been totally rebuilt (to the design of the late Jim Cornish\, formerly a VGC member and Oly 463 pilot). We now have a more powerful Tost winch\,  and have also joined the ‘Eurofox Club’\, with two of these great towplanes\, which are so well suited to vintage operations. \nWe intend  to have some model flying too. Champion aeromodeller and kit originator\, Chris Foss\, is a very long-established Southdown member.  If you get busy now\, there is still time to build a model of the historic Jose Weiss ‘Olive’ glider! \nThere will be social events and we may even be joined by some members of the  extended  Weiss family . \nMore details will follow  soon\, but there is already a dedicated web page for the rally\, with a detailed guide prepared by Craig Lowrie\, at https://www.southdowngliding.co.uk/ \nPlease contact me at ukrallysec@vintagegliderclub.org
