You have to wait four years for your Olympics and you World Cups to come around. Fortunately, Hampton Silver Tiller is a biannual affair and 2016 is the year. All the top teams hoping to score some restricted ST points will be lining up against the local war canoes on Sunday October 2nd.

On Saturday 1st October three races will be conducted for the De May vintage series points.

Start time both days is 11.00 am.

Saturday evening will see us enjoying the legendary Hampton Tandoori curry, washed down with cask ales, fine wines and dark’n’stormy.

Curry orders must be made before 2pm on Saturday, for £12 you get one main, veg side, rice and naan. For your main you can choose from murgh makhani(mild), chicken tikka masala (medium) and, created especially for us, The Hampton Sailing Club special chicken (hot). Please choose one of the following and you can either call Nicky Page on 07834 133792 or email her on [email protected], or complete an order form on Saturday.

We would be very grateful if you could let us know if you plan to come along. If you get in touch with me, I can give you tips on how to get there, my phone number is 07900400986 and email is [email protected] . We look forward to seeing you on the water.
