Exciting Times Ahead – East Lions

I have examples of my own images here. The matching blues and reds of the cyclist taken in Paris, the purple of the street furniture and poster from the South of France. A floral dress and display from the Hampton Court Flower Show and the blue painted planks acting as lead in lines taking the eye to the woman in the blue dress on Hastings Pier. 1st July is the start of the Lions’ year and Adur East Lions new President is Lion Pearl Boyce. Here is her story of why and how she got to this point: “When I moved from London a few years ago, little did I realise within a few years I would have the honour of becoming President of Adur East Lions Club July 2020- June 2021. I’d been a London Ambassador at the 2012 Olympics, so I decided to carry on with my volunteering. A chance meeting with Lion Rose at Shoreham Artisans Market led me to meet a group of like-minded, friendly people helping the local community. In short, we fundraise and redistribute by democratic vote to an often, urgent need within the local community. I’ve never had a plan in life and so it seems fitting that in this ‘strange, new world’ I lead us forward into an unprecedented future. Of course, we have plans but they will be changed and adapted according to needs and requirements.” I will be running photo workshops at The Shoreham Centre again when it is safe to do so.

Exciting times ahead

com/photos/shoreham_steve One thing will be clear and VERY evident – WE ARE LIONS – ‘WE SERVE’

Almost at the same time Adur East Lions welcomed their 30 th member – another pair of hands to help. Lion Janette Ward explains why she is a Lion: “I joined the International Lions organisation 21 years ago. I work full time for myself and wanted to volunteer and help others - extremely rewarding and important to me. You have to sacrifice a bit of your ‘downtime’, but this can only be a good thing as you meet, laugh, chat, have fun and make new friends.

It really does change your life to give back to your local community- you’ll feel better for it.

In these unprecedented times it puts things in prospective. So, come and join us! It can only be a good thing.”

The Circuit of Britain Air Race 1911

Lord Northcliffe

In 1911, during the pioneering years of aviation, Lord Northcliffe, the owner of the Daily Mail, decided the newspaper would sponsor an air race. The prize was £10,000 for whoever was first in completing the 1,000-mile course in the fastest time. The race was to take place in five stages, with eleven stops at the country’s fledgling aerodromes to record flight times. Twenty-nine aviators entered the race, flying the cutting-edge planes of the day. Square-winged monoplanes and box-tailed biplanes, constructed from wood, canvas and wire that would somehow hold metal engines, fuel tanks and a pilot aloft, took off one at a time from Brooklands in Surrey. On the first day of

22

the race, Saturday the 22nd of July 1911, thousands of spectators cheered those that managed to become airborne on their way. On Wednesday the 26th of July 1911, stage 4 of the race (Bristol to Brighton) began. It involved a distance of 224 miles and began at 5 o’clock when race leader Lieutenant Jean Louis Conneau of the French Navy took off. The French Navy frowned upon air racing so Conneau had entered the race using the pseudonym of ‘André Beaumont’. He was flying a Blériot XI single engine square-winged monoplane. It had a boxed, open-air cockpit, skeletal fuselage with fixed, bicyclelike landing wheels. Jules Védrines flying a MoraneBorel monoplane was in second place in the race. He set off immediately after Conneau. Both planes had the same engine but the Morane-Berol plane was slightly faster being lighter and it had smaller landing wheels. The planes flew at an average speed of 45 miles per hour. Vedrines established a two-minute lead in this stage making up for time he’d lost in the previous stages of the race. In his biography ‘Mes Trois Grandes Courses’ published in 1912 under his pseudonym, Conneau noted that he arrived at Exeter at 6 o’clock. The newspapers reported a crowd of twelve thousand spectators to watch the flyers land, check their times with race stewards and service their planes. Conneau noted that he took off from Exeter just after 7:05 am entering calm skies. Vedrines arrived at Salisbury Plain at 8:10 am and Conneau at 8:32 am. British Army Bristol spotter planes escorted them in to land, to the cheers of the soldiers based at Salisbury. MajorGeneral Sir Henry Rawlinson returned to Conneau his cap he had lost at Brooklands. It had been on its own journey during the week by car and train through the race stages to catch up with its thrilled owner.

Conneau’s plane’s engine was spluttering so he had the fuel tank emptied, suspecting the petrol was impure. This proved to be the case when it discovered a fuel-line was blocked with castor oil. With every attempted take off there was always a chance that a plane would fail to leave the ground. This had already caused most racers to withdraw throughout the week. When Conneau took off from Salisbury Plain, he was heading for the next stop in the race, the new airfield at Shoreham-By-Sea. The day had started hot with clear skies but choosing to fly towards Portsmouth and along the coast, Conneau encountered rain clouds. He had to fly underneath them and through the turbulence of the potentially hazardous weather. At the very least, it would be unpleasant to sit in a soaking wet open-air

Blériot XI as first built cockpit if it rained. Conneau landed at Shoreham at 11 o’ clock and reported to the race steward, George Arthur Wingfield, the chairman of Shoreham Aerodrome Limited. Wingfield had been very keen to have the new airfield included in the race. Conneau now discovered he had won the race, before the final stage, as Vedrines was unable to improve upon his time. Both had flown 1,000 miles across the country over five days and all that remained was the short flight back to Brooklands Surrey, and to the victory celebration.

At Shoreham, Conneau according to his biography signed one postcard. Then the stewards ushered the spectators away from the exhausted pilots who fell asleep on camp beds. A doctor gave a massage to Conneau who in return gave him an autograph. After having lunch and with their planes serviced and ready to go, Conneau started his engine five minutes before departure, to overcome the engine trouble his plane was still having. At 1.20pm the crowd cheered as Conneau took off from Shoreham to fly back to Brooklands, Surrey to claim his prize. According to his biography he used the railway line as a guide to get there.
