London really did come out to play for our Champagne Party, hosted at the Champagne Bar in the heart of Soho. The dress code was "all bling" and our mb members did not disappoint! Wonderful show from our sponsor as well, who gave away loads of new Cranium games with a show-stopping prize-draw plus loads of yummy food. Definitely one party to remember, not just for the blindfolding and the dancing on tables — see you at the next one!
