How to find if MemberGroup Exists

As a newbie I'm creating MemberGroups programatically but want to check if it already exists before I create it - which routine do I use please?

You can do that using the Services API:

var umbracoContext = UmbracoContext.Current;
var services = umbracoContext.Application.Services;
var groupExists = services.MemberGroupService.GetAll().Any(x => x.Name == "MyGroupName");

Apologies - should have mentioned I'm using V7 and getting an error on the code:
```
services.MemberGroupService.GetAll().Any(x => x.Name == "MyGroupName");
```
Error is: IEnumerable<IMemberGroup> does not contain a definition for 'Any'

Make sure to have a reference to System.Linq:

using System.Linq;
