Very sadly Ralph Jones, one of the 'greats' of British Gliding died in
hospital early on Sunday morning. He was only 73 but had been unwell for
some time.

A funeral will take place at Hungerford Church next week, details to be
announced as soon as possible.

Ralph had been British Champion nine times, had represented Britain three
times in World Contests. Two of his sons have been World and British
Champions. The youngest son has also won a British Championship and will
compete in his first World Contest later this year.
