Gentlemen Hawks, These recent photos highlight the great progress that has been made since the last issue of The Hawk when we It is a great honour and privilege to be elected reported that this exciting project was finally “on the starting blocks” (The President and I, along with the rest of the new Hawk, Easter 2012).

The editor feels that there some photos from the archives of CURUFC from the period that will be many a Hawk who, privately, will only too well understand the sentiments herein: we might call the inter-domum - between the leaving of All Saints Passage and the arrival in Portugal Place. See if you can name Dear Trustees of the Hawks Club and Charitable Trust, them - answers in the next Hawk. I thought I'd drop you a note just to inform you with what's happened with my athletics as you, the Club and the Trust have provided me with so much help and support over the years. Unfortunately I have not been able to find the success and fulfilment I so greatly desired from my athletics. The opportunity to be involved with the Olympics was one I could not let pass me by and I have put everything I possibly have into giving myself a chance to capitalise upon this. Saying that, there is so much more to one’s decision to dedicate oneself to something and my inability to achieve any personal progression with my sport has left me very disheartened. Athletics is very simple…you constantly strive to better your personal best. My best would have made me competitive in the Olympic trials final of the 400m hurdles but the level I’ve been running at this season meant I only finished 3rd in my semi-final, 0.5s behind the winner whom I needed to beat to make the final. This result obviously disappointed me but it was the realisation that I was so far off where I'd like to be and what I promised a few years ago that really hit me hard. I simply haven't responded to all the effort I've put in. Saying that, I have no regrets with the decisions and sacrifices I’ve made. In 2008 I had the choice to go to the vet school or pursue my sporting dreams. Fortunately I had the support of my parents so in the end I chose athletics due to the limited timescale in sport to achieve your goals. By 2010 I unfortunately had no means to support myself anymore due to events outside of my control. Then the Hawks' Club came to my rescue and provided me with support in the form of a job, the sponsorship contacts and an award from the Trust. I was very lucky that I was considered for a 2012 award and it was a major factor in allowing me to continue in pursuit of my dream. This support allowed me to have two very consistent injury-free years but there is much more to athletics and for whatever reason I haven't been able to rediscover the form I showed in 2007 when The case of the missing President I was in my final year at Cambridge. I have done all I can to work out why it's not happening but an answer just seems beyond me. I Sherlock Holmes never had it so difficult!
