Ok, so the wait is over and Movember is finally here. All the team have had a clean shave, even our General Chat Moderator IronGiant says goodbye to his 30 year old Beard! - but more on that below!
So what is Movember?
We put the word out earlier this month for volunteers for the AVForums Team and I am glad to say that we have the following staff and members all donating their faces to grow that MO...
AVForums Founder Stuart Wright
This is Stuart all clean shaven and ready to go for the month. Look out for video updates and progress photos from the 'Boss' during the month.
If you want to donate to Stuart click on his profile here: Movember United Kingdom - Home
AVForums Editorial Manager Phil Hinton
I went for the arty pose in the 2.40:1 ratio for my clean shaven look. Certainly makes me look slimmer than I am. I have never in my life grown a Mo and really don't know what to expect. There will be video updates and photos from me as the month progresses, plus, I will be doing some videos at a hardware launch later in the month, so you will get that full Mo coverage!

AVForums Assistant Editorial Manager Steve Withers
Steve is also growing his first ever Mo this year as he has avoided facial hair, what with being challenged up top, but he will do anything for charity. Again Steve will be featuring in video and photo updates as the month drags on and you can donate to him here: Movember United Kingdom - Home
AVForums Reviewer & News reporter Mark Hodgkinson
We had Mark down to look the most like a serial killer with a MO, however, going by that Photo I don't think he needs one to accomplish that look!
Mark is dreading this months growing pains as the end result, he states, will be Ginger! That might just be enough to tip the ex-chef into getting his knifes out! He will also be appearing in video and photo updates here and you can donate to him here: Movember United Kingdom - Home
AVForums Speaker & Subwoofer reviewer Russell Williams
In another photo which looks like it came courtesy of a Police line-up, sub bass mad Russell obviously didn't quite get the memo about his photo being clean shaven. I have been assured he is now smooth and hair free and ready to start his Mo adventure. Again we will track Russells progress throughout the month with Videos and Photos. Lets hope his Mo doesn't affect the room acoustics too much. You can donate to Russell here: Movember United Kingdom - Home
Forums Moderator David White (dwhite)
David joins the team to add even more Mo tastic coverage to the AVForums cause. He has yet to tell us what his challenge of the month will be, so we wait with baited breath ( we have funny feeling it might be games themed, and Italian). You can donate to David here: Movember United Kingdom - Home
Forums Member Adam Parrish (AngelEyes)
Adam is most likely to look like a boy band member, or pron star when his Mo finally gets here. He has a passion for good hi-fi and home cinema and assures us he will be working from home the entire month and getting take out delivered. Good luck Adam! We will of course be featuring his progress right here for you to see and you can donate to his efforts here: Movember United Kingdom - Home
So what is Movember?
During November each year, Movember is responsible for the sprouting of moustaches on thousands of men's faces in the UK and around the world. The aim of which is to raise vital funds and awareness for men's health, specifically prostate cancer and other cancers that affect men.
On Movember 1st, guys register at Movember.com with a clean-shaven face and then for the rest of the month, these selfless and generous men, known as Mo Bros, groom, trim and wax their way into the annals of fine moustachery. Supported by the women in their lives, Mo Sistas, Movember Mo Bros raise funds by seeking out sponsorship for their Mo-growing efforts.
