Dampier's first involvement on the international scene came in 1981 when he was the coach of the Great Britain team at the World Championships Pool C tournament in Peking, China.
It was an inauspicious start for his international coaching career as the GB team lost all their matches and did not take part in world competition again until 1990.
However, Dampier was put in charge of the under-21 GB team between 1982 and 1988 when they won the bronze medal in Pool C twice.
In 1990 Dampier was again made coach to the senior team for the World Championships Pool D tournament in Cardiff, Wales.
The team won all four of the games and gained promotion to Pool C. Despite high expectations in 1991, the team only finished fifth in the nine team tournament held in Copenhagen, Denmark.
However, the following year, 1992, in Hull, England the team gained promotion to World Championships Pool B and, in 1993, promotion into Pool A.
However, in 1994 in Bolzano, Italy, the team lost all their matches and were relegated back to Pool B.
