WITH a joint effort between The Irish Field team and our colleagues in the Irish Farmers Journal, the annual Movember fund raising in aid of men’s health, re-named ‘Fovember’ in honour of our farming friends, has meant that the men in both offices have been sporting moustaches of all shapes and sizes. Our group is currently number one in national rankings, with a tally of over €26,000 raised to date.

The Irish Field’s Leo Powell is the number one Movember fundraiser in the country having raised €17,000 by himself. The lads were rewarded for their growing abilities with a hot towel shave on Tuesday courtesy of Sam’s Barbers to celebrate the final days of the Movember campaign. A cake sale held by the Irish Country Living staff of the Irish Farmers Journal raised €1,150.
