World's Greatest Shave

Our glorious leader Mike (and colleague Ben) are shaving off for the Leukaemia Foundation. In Mike's case that's some 5 years of extensive growth (which takes some serious planning) which may never again be seen in it's current glory. If you want to wave goodby to Mike's follicular assets, or marvel at the stunning transformation, come along. Better still, sponsor their team (Hairy Dudes) using the link below, either because you care about funding research into blood cancer, or just to ensure they go through with this insanity.
When: Fri 13th March, 4pm
Where: Rigby's Bar, St George's Terrace
Sponsor: https://secure.leukaemiafoundation.org.au/registrant/TeamFundraisingPage.aspx?TeamID=88039
