2009 AWARDS
Posted: 03 Dec 09
Ladies Supper Saturday 17th October 2009
This social event, which is held every alternate year, is primarily to thank the outgoing Commodore’s Lady for all her hard work behind the scenes. The men of the club are expected to feed, water and generally wait on the ladies throughout the evening and in true Hampton traditions they did this admirably.
A varied menu was provided with dishes from
George - Kidney Turbigo.
Alan - Chilli Con Carne
Kevin - Barbecue Chicken
Trevor - Honey Mustard Chicken
John - Lamb Rogan Josh
Derek - Boeuf Bourguignon
All served up with jacket potatoes cooked by Keith, Phillip and Steve. The food being expertly plated and served by various male members of the club.
A very good turn out of 30 ladies had a most enjoyable evening and they even allowed the men to partake in the food and drink, once they had finished serving the ladies.
Rubber gloves, washing up liquid and tea towels were soon in operation as the plates and glasses were washed, dried and put away, much to the amazement of some of the ladies who did not think that their man knew what a dishcloth was.
A big thanks to all the men and an even bigger thank you to Jane for all of her efforts over the past few years.

Junior Regatta & Fun Day
The Junior Regatta at Hampton Sailing
club this year was held in Picos. Although due to
impending exams the following Monday a lot of the older juniors could not
sail or were unable to give of their best, the younger junior members were
there in force.
Very close racing was held with series
leader Suzi Bell disqualified for not starting
correctly. This left four boats on equal points, the tie being broken in
favour of Oliver Jenkins and Harry Jayasuriya who
clinched the meeting by comfortably winning the last race.
After the racing some fun events and
races were held with a BBQ by the river to finish an eventful day.

Hampton retains Mid Thames Trophy
This year was Hampton's turn to host the Mid Thames
trophy which took place on Saturday 19th of April. This annual event
involves Aquarius, Desborough, Littleton and
Hampton
sailing clubs. 17 boats took part racing for individual prizes and for
their club.
It was a very windy day with a cold
north easterly resulting in several capsizes and retirements. Classes
competing included Bosun, Comets, Enterprises,
Merlin Rockets, GP14, Graduate and Solos.
Full race report can be found here
Final team positions:-
1st Hampton, 2nd Littleton, 3rd Desborough, 4th Aquarius.
Individual prize winners:-
1st-Richard Page/Phil Dalby (Hampton)
2nd Hywel Bowen-Perkins/Lorna Dixon (Hampton)
3rd Mike Wickie (Littleton)
4th Tim Hare (Littleton).
Many thanks to Rob, Ben and Stuart for their help in recovering this Merlin. They turned out in fairly atrocious conditions, very wet and windy and recovered the boat without serious damage either to them, the rescue boats or indeed the rescued boat.
This should remind us all of how important it is to ensure that our boats are properly secured when we leave the club, especially at this time of the year.
