We aim to meet every other month, and have six regular Gatherings during the year. Our AGM is in April.
|
We discuss, encourage and
support the growing, styling and maintenance of a man's beard, and along
the way we make new friends, enjoy good food, real ales and good
conversation. We are also supporting Prostate Cancer charities when we
can at our Gatherings and social events, and to which we may donate any
annual membership fee surplus.
