This blog is almost exclusively about wargames, shiny models etc – but today I’m going to beg your indulgence and highlight a good cause.<\/p>\n

Movember<\/a> is a charity aimed at raising funds and awareness for men\u2019s health, specifically prostate cancer and testicular cancer. The essential idea is that you don’t shave and instead grow a ‘tache for the month (hence Mo<\/strong>vember) and get yourself sponsored for looking like a pimp\/spiv\/wing commander (which is my aim).<\/p>\n

My team is Headstrong<\/a> (which is where I work to pay the bills – although Brigade is still growing, it doesn’t yet cover the mortgage) and this is me<\/a> (I will try to find a decent progress-so-far photo soon).<\/p>\n

It’s a bit of a laugh (it helps to be in a team rather than doing it solo) and hopefully we’re doing some good at the same time. And if anyone wants to donate a pound or two to help us along, so much the better.<\/p>\n

Back to normal programming tomorrow – the PacFed tanks<\/a> are coming out of there degreasing bath in a little while so I’ll be able to photograph them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
