Re: The Ben Hudson's Beard Appreciation Society.
DaDruid is organising some Realisti fake Beards for those of us who are a wee bit laking in the facial folicles.
Contact him or myself if you are interested.
Ladies are Most welcomeComment

Re: The Ben Hudson's Beard Appreciation Society.
Did you notice The Beard was hiding in the team poster in yesterdays Herald Sun? Reminds me of Wilson in Home Improvement.

Re: The Ben Hudson's Beard Appreciation Society.
Anybody know which round is which this year? You know, women's round, heritage round, green round, geta round, facially hirsute round that sort of thing. I can't find it anywhereComment

Re: The Ben Hudson's Beard Appreciation Society.
If I remember rightly, that piece of play ended in a 9 pointer. As part of the post-goal celebration, the Beard ran over, propped, leaned in and stuck up nine fingers and a couple of bushy brows to the smaller player he had beaten in the earlier contest. Laughed so hard, I nearly fell off the front of the level 2 stand!!

Re: The Ben Hudson's Beard Appreciation Society.
OK Here it is - the draft proposal for International Ben Hudson's Beard Day incorporating Beards for Babies. The good news is that Les Twentyman's 20th Man Foundation runs programs to support young mums and he has tentatively said he is interested in being given money! And he has a beard!
THIS IS IMPORTANT - PLEASE DO NOT APPROACH THE CLUB, PLAYERS OR THE MEDIA ABOUT THIS EVENT YET - Obviously this is a public board and they will find out anyway, however it is important that contact with the club, relevant players and the media is done via the IBHBD Management Sub Committee. We don't want to Collingwood this up. So calm heads please. Have a read of this DRAFT proposal, we can discuss it here, finalise it all and then THEN we will have something to take to the club. OK? Ok!
Who is the IBHBD Management Sub Committee? Excellent question. Do you want to be on it? I know I do. PM me if you do.
So far it is me and Comrade. I would expect DaDruid to join us and a couple of other people have suggested interest previously but I forget who so... speak now!
Because this is an ACTUAL THING which involves the club and the media and a real charity we are going to take the organisation moderately seriously. Seems sensible.
Anyway read the thing and lets see what you reckon.

Re: The Ben Hudson's Beard Appreciation Society.
FDOTM
Congratulations on a splendid DRAFT proposal. I live in Queensland and so it is not practical for me to nominate for the IBHBD Management Sub Committee, but it is such an impressive sounding and important organisation that I'm sure you'll be inundated with volunteers. I'd certainly like to assist if I can in other ways though.
I am prepared to commit to sell a minimum of 20 Beards if your DRAFT proposal is accepted - I know at least 10 people with a sense of humor and at least 10 Bulldogs supporters who are not WOOF members. I'll also get along to the event and make sure I bring a half dozen or so supporters with me.
This is an idea whose time has come.Comment

Re: The Ben Hudson's Beard Appreciation Society.
FDOTM, that's awesome!
Sadly, same as the above poster, i'm an interstate dogs fan so probably can't really halp from home.
MAYBE the interstate/old/infirmed etc beardies can particpate in the safety of their own longe rooms!
Maybe a rule is we cant watch the game on TV unless we beard up as well!
Good luck with this.
Also a slight suggestion, the charity aspect of it is a little vague, needs further clarification. Who do the funds really go to, what do they really use it for etc. Perhaps a statement or an attachment from Les would clarify that.Comment

Re: The Ben Hudson's Beard Appreciation Society.
Have studied the draft at crikey.com. An excellent document that has covered many bases that needed to be touched upon. I am more than willing to nominate for a Sub-Committee role if I can get a seconder. I am also very happy that we have selected our charity of choice. I do agree that there must be some level of 'under our hats' with publicity until there are more ticks in the appropriate boxes.
Congrats to FDOTM and everyone involved thus far!!
