Belfast Beard Off

Well the Book Swap was a great success and raised over £300 for the Simon Community. And next month, thanks to the kindness and enthusiasm of a few good hairy men, we have another shave event on the horizon.


On Friday the 22nd of July five friends with facial furniture shall be revealing their chins for all to see! Ninja Joe Maxwell, Connor 'Murzo' Murray, beardy Mark McQuillan, inappropriate Kris Telford and Tomas 'Pirate Tom' Bamford, are all shaving their beards for the very worthwhile cause.
There'll be live music from: 

Kris Telford 
Stormzone's Kev Harris
and the amazing Phoenix 23!

And not only that, but you will also have the chance to come on stage and shave one of the hapless beardy types yourself! On the night of the beard off you will be asked to take a blank envelope and a pen (provided for you), you will then be asked to place a donation to the Simon Community in the envelope. Then its a simple matter of writing your name, how much you have donated, and who you would like to shave on the front of the envelope. The highest bid for each person gets to shave them live on stage!!

This will be a sell out event, so be sure to get down to the middle bar of the Pavillion on the Ormeau Road nice and early! Entrance fee is £3 and all proceeds go to the Simon Community.

Beard shaving equipment kindly provided by Hedonist Hair, the rockingest hair dressers in Belfast!

Shave-o-Rama

Our next fundraising event will be held on Sunday 16th May at Auntie Annie's Bar, Dublin Rd, Belfast, and is entitled 'Shave-o-Rama'. We've a bunch of people all getting sponsored to shave or wax various parts of their body, and the night itself will feature live entertainment from Belfast based Roysta and DJ support.

It's £5 in, though if you have sponsored a participant before hand you'll be on the guest list. Things kick off at 8pm.

Its great to see so many people getting involved so far and in the next few days you'll be getting a summary of the money we raised in April. Hard to believe we've only been doing this for a month, the response have been brilliant, thanks to everyone who has helped out in one way or another.
