IT was obvious watching last weeks painful defeat to the Aussies at Twickenham, which charity Toby Flood was supporting, and across the land, whiskers have been cultivated, shaped and honed to perfection for the splendid Movember charity.
Amongst the participants, is Steve Gibbs who is now freelancing in magazine design after 11 years on Service Dealer and still currently involved with Chris Biddle in producing Landwards for IAgrE.
Given that nationality issues may be a problem, Steve's hopes of being the 'new' Merv Hughes may be an ambition too far, and waiting for the Village People to reform is probably unlikely. So he is resigned to being simply the stereo-type of 'man with moustache', eg check shirt and a pint.
If you'd like to support the charity through Steve's Movember page he'd be delighted.
The 2013 Event Planner in a new, larger size, will once again contain dates of all the national and international industry shows and events. Published with the December issue of Turf Pro/Service Dealer TO ADVERTISE GEORGE MILLER E-mail or 020 3603 7936
