A BAN on an infamous drinking club at Oxford University has descended into farce, after being overturned on a technicality.

Last week members of the Bullingdon Club were banned from holding office in the University's Conservative Association (OUCA), but that motion has now reportedly been scrapped.

According to the student newspaper Cherwell, a disciplinary meeting found the passing of the motion to be unconstitutional.

The ban was in place for less than a week.

It is thought that non-members of OUCA voted in favour of the ban, meaning a committee voted to overturn the decision. 

But OUCA President Ben Etty told Cherwell: “The overturning of the Bullingdon ban on a constitutional technicality is very disappointing, but it is only a minor setback.

"The ban will be re-proposed very soon and I’m confident this time that the much-needed change, supported by the vast majority of the membership, will be made permanent.”

He previously said that the values and activities of the Bullingdon Club - a posh drinking society known for drunken antics and linked to a number of high-flying politicians - have "no place in the modern Conservative Party". 

David Cameron, Boris Johnson and George Osborne are past members of the male-only club, which has long been a secretive organisation subject to curiousity in popular culture.

The club was the inspiration behind the 2014 film Riot Club, which focussed on riotous behaviour.

In addition to the ban being overturned, a motion to change all pronouns in the OUCA constitution from ‘he’ to ‘they’ was also reportedly overturned.

The Oxford Mail has attempted to contact OUCA and its president Mr Etty.
