Today, The 16' Club is solely a dining club, though vestiges of the Club's clerical origin remain in the retention of the College Prayer and the nominal requirement that members be bachelors.
The clandestine nature of these meetings, and the reticence of its members, means that little is known about the club and this in turn fuels wild rumours.
