Beard association want to bring the World Beard Championships to Ireland
EVER FEEL THAT as a man with facial hair, you’re not getting enough support in your bearded endeavours?
Step forward the Irish Beard and Moustache Association, a group for people who have facial hair and people who simply appreciate a good beard.
The Association plan to hold meet-ups in a different county every month, where members can connect and presumably, compare beards. Their first official meeting will be held in the Slate pub in Cork on the 25th of January.
Their main aim is to eventually bring the World Beard and Moustache Championships (the Olympics, but for facial hair) to Ireland.
Founding member David Duff believes every Irish man should embrace the beard:
According to David, the ideal beard is the freestyle beard; natural, untrimmed, unstyled, and permitted to roam.
It’s a very fine beard indeed.
