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!

We kick off our 2011 fundraising program on behalf of the Simon Community with a Children's Book Swap and Family Fun Day at The Black Box Belfast, Saturday 2nd April, 12-3pm.
The event will host a number of family orientated activities including craft stalls (ideal for that last minute Mother's Day present), a toy jumble sale, recycled crafts, face painting, a raffle, entertainment, refreshments and more.
Entry is £2 per adult and FREE for children (all children must be accompanied by an adult), and money raised will go to The Simon Community - The Northern Ireland Charity for the homeless.
