Well, it's getting colder at last and The Matterhorn garden heaters are on every night now, but we have another great
way to keep warm and that is dancing, all our Djs are experts on getting your butt wiggling, so don't be afraid jump
about at The Matterhorn this winter...

love the mullet Nath!
And finally big congratulations to DJ MU (the panther) who took away all the prizes at The MPC Battle on Wednesday, what
a night, and as our official MPC MC Mark Cubey (the badger) stated "music was the winner on the night" big ups to all
contestants, especially newcomer Kendrix, who wooed the crowd with his killa 2 step styles. The MPC Battle was a
legendary Welly night with a fab turnout of locals, and we'll be announcing the next one soon. Thanks to Smoke CDs for
