Hi,

In case this gets distributed again you may wish to note:

a) The Oxford Union Society is in Oxford not London

b) The rule referred to, as a result of a periodic update to the Union rules, is now Rule 51 and has been further broadened in scope to now read,

RULE 51: DOGS
Any Member introducing or causing to be introduced a dog into the Society's premises shall be liable to a fine of £5 inflicted by the Treasurer. Any animal leading a blind person shall be deemed to be a cat. Any animal entering on Police business shall be deemed to be a wombat. Any animal that the President wishes to exempt from the Rule shall be deemed to be a mongoose.

Regards, Michael
