In a way I wanted it to be "official" because that I hope commands better<br>
respect when you stand in the middle of the road taking photos! "Mapping<br>
Party" might be seen by some as a stupid stag night stunt and improve you<br>

So, "Party" in this context doesn't always mean you're just out having a good time (although it doesn't preclude it)...<br>
