BOWLING FOR MOVEMBER – IT’S THAT TIME OF YEAR AGAIN!
28.10.2009
Never before was there a better excuse to grow a moustache and get away with it. It’s the month of Movember and ll you guys should be aware that you have a right, nay a duty to grow your moustache. And no-one can stand in your way either – not your boss and not even your angel (nor your gay lover). Because you have the best excuse ever – it’s to raise awareness for Men’s health issues, like testicular cancer. That’s right! So who are they to stop you doing it?
The month ends with a bowling tournament at the Fresnaye Bowling Club.
As can be expected, Team 2oceansvibe won last year. Yup, turns out it’s not just motor racing and love making that Seth is awesome at.
Team 2oceansvibe – reigning champs..
Check it out:
During Mo–vember (the month formerly known as November) men all over the world are growing moustaches in order to raise awareness for Men’s Health Issues. We’re celebrating the end of this moustache growing month by hosting a lawn bowls competition with a difference.
In its second year, Bowling for Movember, will be hosted at the Fresnaye Bowls Club on the 29 November. Last year’s event was a great success and we raised over R15000 for CANSA…..check out our youtube video. Bowling for Movember is an opportunity for all those who have grown their moustache in support of Men’s Health Issues to show off their mo’s and bowling prowess in style. Full bar, DJs, café and sponsor stands which include a Dermalogica Skin Bar and WellSpa Massage Zone. There’ll also be a nurse and CANSA representative there on the day, who will have all the info you need on Prostate and Testicular Cancer.
It is estimated that 1 in 6 men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer at some point in their lives. Prostate Cancer is the leading cancer in males and more than 4000 men are diagnosed yearly with prostate cancer in South Africa. Males over the age of 50 should have yearly screening.Testicular cancer is the most common malignancy of males aged 15 – 35 years. The incidence of testicular cancer is on the increase. In both Prostate and Testicular Cancer, early detection and treatment significantly improves the outcome.
All the money raised by Bowling for Movember is used to grow awareness of men’s health issues by the Cancer Association of South Africa (CANSA). CANSA uses funds raised for research, to increase awareness of the importance of early detection and to improve the support networks for those affected with prostate or testicular cancer.
Here are some suggestions:
The event is on Sunday 29 November 2009 at the Fresnaye Bowls Club 10am – 5pm

My husband did “Mo”vember in “MO”ctober. I couldn’t freaking STAND IT. My face and other body parts suffered red raw welts from the goddamn evil hairy parasite that launched itself on his face.
I would wake up screaming when I found this old uncle with a moustache lying next to me.
I screamed,and cried, and threw daily tantrums. But he stayed true to the cause, and not even the withdrawal of certain favours did not cause him to waiver.
Then suddenly and without warning he shaved it off as a birthday present ( along with my new laptop) last week.
thank you jesus.
Now it feels like I’m cheating on my old uncle of a husband with this sexy clean shaven younger looking lover.
SCORE!

Nice. I’m in. Think I’ll plump for the “Gringo” look even if it’ll be seriously patchy around the the old laughing gear region and terrify the angels down the Bush Tavern in Umdloti!
