A group of normally quite serious Manchester businessmen have been growing Mo’s as part of Movember, an annual moustache growing charity event held during November in support of the Prostate Cancer Charity. The group, supported by BNI Bridgewater networking group called themselves Team Mochester. They joined thousands of men worldwide in growing comedy facial hair to raise cash. By Sunday night (30/11/08) after four weeks of serious Mo cultivation the team was sporting outrageous 70’s rock star moustaches.
Steve Morton Chapter Director of BNI Bridgewater, “I’m really pleased with the £1200 we’ve raised as it hasn’t been an easy task! Attending important meetings with this handle bar Mo has been quite embarrassing, plus I don’t think my staff could take me seriously. However it’s been a bit of fun while supporting an excellent cause.”
On Monday morning (1/12/08) the Team Mochester WAGS all breathed a sigh of relief as their husbands and partners returned to their former clean shaven selves. Rather unsurprisingly not one member has decided to keep his Mo!
Anyone interested in networking with the BNI Bridgewater group is welcome to visit one of their unhairy weekly meetings. They meet on a Thursday at 7am at the Campanile Hotel on Regent Road.
