We recently changes our rules to allow Members to bring their well-behaved dogs into the Club House. This has been debated within the Club for a while as a rule change that is welcomed by families with pet dogs. Previously, they would need at least one person outside caring for their dog.

For the second year running, Hampton Pier Yacht Club will be hosting the annual ActiveLife Pier to Pier Swim. Registrations and secure bag storage will be at the Clubhouse. Competitors will also have use of the Club's changing rooms and toilets, plus refreshments and "energy bar" snacks will be available. Membership of the Club is open to non sailors including kayakers and open water swimmers, so this a good time to take a look at the facilities if you are interested. Please note that fees are discounted by 50% if joining in July.

The Club was recently awarded two grants from the "Opportunities Fund" for activities that improve the safety and well being of the local community. £200 was donated towards the cost of a replacement battery for the defibrillator and £300 towards the new safety boat trailer. We would like to pass on our thanks to Grace Paget and Councillor Peter Vickery-Jones for their support of the Club.
