 |  “His Beard is a Man's Most Personal Possession” |
|
Chelmsford, Essex
“I’m at that ‘interesting age’, been retired a couple of years deliberately getting under the wife’s feet so as she’ll tell me to go off fishing.
“I have sported facial fungus in various guises since about 1960, from the pencil on the upper lip through the ‘Manfed Mann’ beard, mutton chops, goatee, handlebar and the present full set, which I’ve had since 1981 when my children emigrated to provide yours truly with a holiday home in the sun.
“I started riding motorcycles back when I was 17 and now galloping towards 70 I’m still riding the damned things, if only to annoy the ‘child’ police officers who stop me now and then.”
The British Beard Club is a social meeting group for bearded men, their partners and families of The British Isles. We discuss, encourage and support the growing, styling and maintenance of a man's beard, and along the way we make new friends, enjoy good food, real ales and good conversation.
The British Beard Club is a non-political, non-orientated loose association of Beard Aficionados giving mutual support, friendship, and advice to men who have always wanted to grow a beard, who are growing their beards, or who have had a beard for years. Growing his beard is the most natural and ecological expression of a man's character, and conserves precious resources and energy.
The British Beard Club organises regular meetings often in the South, The Midlands and Eastern England. There are enthusiastic meeting groups in all other parts of the country; the South-West, Wales, the North of England, Scotland and Northern Ireland. We also welcome Ex-Pat and International members, with Overseas memberships in the Republic of Ireland, Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, Sweden and in the USA, Canada, South Africa, Japan and Australia.
