WELCOME TO THE HAWKS’ CLUB
The Hawks’ Club has been in existence since 1872 and represents the best sportsmen at the University of Cambridge. Membership is by election only, and the usual criterion is that the candidate should have his Blue, Half-Blue or Second Team Colours, by taking part in the Varsity 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.
