Did you ever wear fluorescent odd socks, whilst watching the A Team and munching at cola bottles that you had bought for half a penny each? Or maybe you were too intrigued with your Rubik’s Cube to worry about Esther Rantzen on That’s Life or your space hopper sitting in the back garden? Well if any of that is true then you, like me, were probably a child in the 80s. If you were then promise yourself that you will get down to Envy for their new once monthly Saturday Nighter ’Babycham’

I’ve got to admit, that a lover of cheese as I am, I wasn’t best looking forward to an entire Saturday night devoted to the decade that taste forgot, but I am so glad I went along. Walking into the club was somewhat reminiscent of my old school discos. The place wasn’t totally packed to start off with but those that were there were definitely making the most of it. With Dirty dancing playing on the TV screens and huge ‘Acid’ smileys dangling from the ceiling I was transported back in time to an era where I was desperate to be one of the Goonies or go and visit Elliot and his new friend ET.

The club soon filled out with a crowd quite diverse in ages, some dressed in 80’s get up but everyone with a massive smile on their faces. DJ Aaron Paul kept the memories flooding in with his usual style of classic hits, and despite a few jumping tracks here and there (didn't they know the 80s was when CDs were invented?) the night was a massive success, helped along nicely by the fact that most drinks seemed to be just £2 each.

I’m sure Babycham is here to stay, so make sure you practise your break-dancing and get yourself down there for the 3rd Saturday in every month, but leave your dancing flower and cabbage patch kid at home!

My only gripe… where was Pac Man? The computer game sensation that had us all transfixed in the 80s has been taken from Charles St. never to be seen again!
