A LETTER FROM THE CHAIRMAN
Where We Belong
The Old Hiltonian Club has become one of Hilton College’s most enduring and valued traditions. While Hilton College helped shape who we are, the club exists to ensure those foundations remain strong throughout our lives. Now in its 133rd year, the Old Hiltonian Club has grown into a global fraternity – connecting Old Hiltonians across generations and continents.
I encourage each of you to reconnect with the school and with one another. Whether it’s building friendships beyond your year group, offering support, or giving back your time to Hilton and the club – this community thrives because of your involvement.
It’s a privilege to serve as chairman of such a remarkable network. Whether you left Hilton last year or many decades ago, you are – and always will be – a part of it.
Scott Rutherfoord
Chairman, Old Hiltonian Club
For a century-and-a-half,
generations of Hiltonians have
formed the deepest of friendships,
most lasting a lifetime.

The Old Hiltonian Club
After leaving Hilton College, every boy in good standing is eligible to become a member of the Old Hiltonian Club.
The club has branches in cities around the world. It is responsible for organising and facilitating events, for and on behalf of, Old Hiltonians and the wider Hilton family.
The club works with the Hiltonian Society (a non-profit company which owns Hilton College), the Hilton College Endowment Foundation and the school for the greater good of the school and all its stakeholders. Combined, these entities make up the collective that is Hilton.
By virtue of their membership of the Hiltonian Society, Old Hiltonians are the owners of Hilton College.
Hilton College is an independent, full-boarding, all-boys secondary school, run on a day-to-day basis by its Headmaster and a body of senior staff members.
The Hilton College Endowment Foundation is a separate legal entity from the other organs of state and is responsible for the independent management of the school’s financial endowments.
Come Dine With Us
Join us for lunch in the dining hall on a weekday that suits you. It would be a joy to hear all about your time at Hilton College.
