The Working Group for Reconstructive Urology within the Scandinavian Association of Urology:

The idea of forming a working group for reconstructive urology was born at a visit to the pub “The George” at The Great Queen Street in London, May 15, 1997. The beer-drinkers were August Bakke, Wiking Månsson and Alexander Schultz (please, see photo), who were in London because of the Reconstructive Urology Symposium, arranged by Anthony Mundy.
