<br />
==History==<br />
Miss Moneypenny's evolved as a weekly club event out of the extravagant, one-off ‘Chuff Chuff’ rave parties, a long-running and hedonistic house music event. Chuff Chuff was founded by Mick, Jim, and Dermot Ryan, and Lee Garrick and was initially held as a fancy-dress boat party.<br />
<br />
Miss Moneypenny's was started in the summer of 1993 as a weekly Saturday-night event in Bonds nightclub in [[Birmingham]] and with resident DJ's Russell Salsbury and Simon Owen. The "Miss Moneypennys" name was chosen because of its association with the [[James Bond]] theme suggested by the name of the venue where the night was hosted.<br />
<br />
Miss Moneypenny's began to hold other weekly residencies, at The Canal in [[Wolverhampton]], The Church and Liberty's in Birmingham, SKOOL in London, and specialised nights such as MP'S, which was held at the Academy, Stoke-on-Trent, and a special student night, named Jelly Baby.<br />
<br />
==Development outside the UK==<br />
Miss Moneypenny's residencies, Chuff Chuff nights, tours and radio broadcasts use the slogan "The Worlds Most Glamorous Clubbing Brand".<br />
