After lunch on 8 October, members and their partners were taken on a guided tour of the Sheldonian Theatre, the Bodlean Library and the Radcliffe Camera. The day concluded with a private tour of the Ashmolean Museum, followed by a champagne reception and a splendid, black-tie, Club dinner in the museum concourse.
One popular item in the Ashmolean, sought out by many a urologist, was a postcard of Francesco Urbini's famous 1536 "Dickhead Plate" (pictured above right - click the image for a full-screen view), constructed entirely from images of the human penis!
