The Oxford and Cambridge club do not allow women to be full members.
This caused distress to a number of people at the conference.

When Mike states that 'lots of "ladies" attended the dinner', this is
not quite accurate.  

There were few women at the conference and all those that I spoke to were
angry that women can still be treated this way.

A group of us attended the dinner only because an apology was made to the
conference for any offence which the venue might have cause and because
Mike Hinchey undertook to write to the club on behalf of the conference
to protest.  None the less there were several that I know of who did not
attend the dinner because of the rules of the club.

By the way Mike, could you supply me with the name and address of the
person to contact at the club as I wish to write expressing my feelings.
