The guys are helping out the cause by growing moustaches during the next few weeks so if you see them sporting their new facial furniture at the club please stop and talk to them about how you can help with this worthy cause.

So what exactly is Movember? According to the official website -
|
|
|
|
“Movember (the month formally known as November) is a charity event held during November each year.
|
|
|
|
At the start of Movember guys register with a clean shaven face. The Movember participants known as Mo Bros then have the remainder of the month to grow and groom their moustache and along the way raise as much money and awareness about male health issues as possible.
|
|
|
|
Movember culminates at the end of the month at the Gala Partés. These glamorous and groomed events will see Tom Selleck and Ian Botham look-a-likes battle it out on the catwalk for their chance to take home the prestigious Man of Movember title.
|
|
|
|
While growing a Mo is left to the guys, Mo Sistas (ladies that support their guys or love Mo's!) form an important part of Movember with their powerful feminine touch, by recruiting Mo Bros, helping to raise funds and attending the highly anticipated Gala Partés.

|
|
But its not all fun and games, so why the extreme behaviour?
|
|
|
|
Which ever way we look at it, men are far less healthy than women. The average life expectancy for men is five years less than for women.”
