Social Events
The Hawks pride themselves on being a very sociable club. They have a dedicated social committee who plan all the events at the club and put on the best entertainment in the league. The Hawks enjoy their footy but remember the main reason to play is to have fun and make the most of what London has to offer. Ladies day at the Hawks is always one not to miss, in 2011 around 500 attended the day, proving to be the biggest home game attendance in the Hawks history. The bar and BBQ is set up at every home game, and many of the players and supporters hang around after to enjoy the summer evening and cheap drink deals. The Hawks also make the annual trip to the Epsom Derby, and make 3 footy trips every season, both in the UK and abroad.

Famous quotes containing the words social and/or events:
“The mere fact of leaving ultimate social control in the hands of the people has not guaranteed that men will be able to conduct their lives as free men. Those societies where men know they are free are often democracies, but sometimes they have strong chiefs and kings. ... they have, however, one common characteristic: they are all alike in making certain freedoms common to all citizens, and inalienable.”
—Ruth Benedict (1887–1948)
“When the world was half a thousand years younger all events had much sharper outlines than now. The distance between sadness and joy, between good and bad fortune, seemed to be much greater than for us; every experience had that degree of directness and absoluteness which joy and sadness still have in the mind of a child”
—Johan Huizinga (1872–1945)
