Welcome to Hawks' Club
Hawks’ Club has been in existence since 1872, and represents the best sportsmen in the University of Cambridge. Membership is by election only, and the usual criterion is that the candidate should have been awarded his Blue – ie have taken part in the match or race against Oxford in his particular sport.
The Hawks’ Charitable Trust
The Trust was established in January 1996 with a relatively small endowment capital donated by some of the Members to provide grants to current Cambridge University students, male and female, whose sporting activities were being inhibited by financial constraints.

Mark Hatton, seen here wearing Hawks' Club socks, is currently at the Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang, training South Korean athletes in the luge. He is a former luger who represented Great Britain at the 2002 and 2006 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City and Turin respectively.
At Cambridge he studied for a PGCE at St John’s in 1995, by which time he was already making a name for himself as a luge athlete. However, athletics, especially pole-vaulting, came first initially, and he competed up to British League level. Mark earned a double blue from Cambridge in athletics and ice hockey. By 1997 he was competing in World Cup luge events. Mark is rated as one of Britain’s fastest ever Olympians, and was regularly reaching speeds of up to 87 mph on his luge runs.
Congratulations on your achievements Mark and for giving back to the community.
