Charity Dinner

The Hawks' Club Charity Dinner is an annual event open to Hawks, their guests and members of the public to both raise the profile of the Club and support a charity as chosen by the year's Committee. A prominent figure, usually sporting, is invited to speak following a high quality formal meal served in one of the University Colleges' Great Halls.
