Tweed men get it on for Movember

THE Tweed Daily News has jumped on the Movember train and will this month be following the progress of eight of the Tweed’s finest mo-growers.

Movember is an annual, month-long celebration of the moustache, highlighting men’s health issues, specifically prostate cancer and depression in men.

Each week we will follow the progress of our magnificent mo-growers. View their photos in the gallery to the right and then cast your vote in the poll as to who has the most tash-tastic mo so far.

Meet our mo-growers:

All out growers were asked the following questions -

1. Is this the first time you have taken park in Movember?

2. Why are you taking part?

3. What style of mo are you aiming for?

Paul Calvino from Tweed Shire Council

1. No, I have organised it at the council for three years.

2. I enter because I want to raisse awareness of men's health issues.

3. I am going for the Chopper meets Wolverine look.
