If you think it's too early to book your summer vacation in the Hamptons, think again. The first buds of spring may be weeks away, but in the Hamptons, real estate agents say, the rental season is already going full throttle.
The season traditionally begins during Presidents' Week, says Judi Desiderio, president and chief executive of Town & Country Real Estate, whose main office is in East Hampton.
"By the end of that week, 50 percent of the summer rentals are gone." This year, the season took off at least a month earlier, she says.

City give Leader a birthday present
WINCHESTER CITY came up with the perfect birthday present for manager Andy Leader on Saturday. After a string of poor performances and a somewhat lacklustre first half, two goals from skipper Dave Allen were enough to provide Leader with a win - albeit against Slough Town a side third from bottom in the table. A 0-0 half-time scoreline wasn't exactly the many happy returns' 43-year-old Leader had hoped for. But he was not afraid to change things and, having dropped Adam George and Richard Gregory to the bench in the wake of the latest defeat - 2-0 at Thatcham - he sent them both on after an hour for Paul Taplin and James Knight. Four minutes later his boldness was rewarded when man-of-the-match Aaron Parfitt's fizzing, low drive was parried by keeper Richard Barnard for Allen to slot in the rebound at the far post.
