This
portfolio is the final one David provided for the club's website.
David Hampson, our Chairman until May 2008. died suddenly, at
the end of a holiday with his family in The Gower, Wales. I understand
that he was loading the family car, preparatory to return, when
he collapsed without prior indication of any problem.
David
joined the Club in our first year, 1980, and served on the committee
in one role or another for much of the past 27 years. He was
vice-chairman quite early on, but may be remembered most particularly
for service as Treasurer, at which he was particularly skilled,
and he held that post more than once. Latterly, of course, he
has been our Chairman, at which task he has been possibly the
most efficient, conscientious and hard-working of any of those
who have taken it on. Recently, his computer skills made him
a 'natural' for operating the Club's digital projector when (partly
through his efforts) we acquired it with help from a grant from
Waverley Borough.
On
a personal level, his consistent good humour and schoolboyish
enthusiasm have ensured his popularity. We shall remember him
with fondness and profound regret at his premature departure
from us.
