This is the last weekend in November and will be a ball � take time to read the committee�s comments below: http://www.mlx8.com

MLX8 Comes to life at the grand opening night private party at the world famous Spiegeltent step back to the 1920s, the era of Charlestonand Hot Jazz. The discovery of Tutankhamen's tomb leads to Egypt being in Vogue, think glamour, tuxedos & flapper girls, pompous British explorers with safari suits, the debut of Art Deco, & the men of Cairo in their fez. Dress accordingly.

PRIZE: One lucky fella and one great dame will receive a 2009 MLX pass for the most glamorous or suitably themed outfit. 8.30pm- 11.30pm: Drinks on the terrace

11.30pm- 02.00am: (The bar will close at 1am) Dancing in the tent private for MLX8! The only drunken punters cluttering the dance floor this year will be the ones we bring ourselves.
