St Margarets Movember 2020 - Registration is now open! Ready to shave?
We're ready to start taking registrations!
Are you ready to grow your November weapon?
It's simple - upload a picture of your starting baby - and we'll ask you for 4 more photos during the month.
Just to recap the starting point - you can start with a clean shave or you can model your chosen weapon from a pre existing beard and groom your pet! We just want you to wear your weapon in November and from this we'll push donations for Pieta House.

St Margarets Movember 2020 - how it works!
We're almost ready to go - this Sunday is the start of the campaign - so you've 2 days to decide if you're in or out - please be in! Here's a recap of our campaign and why we're doing it, what's expected of you, and your key dates and what to do on those dates.
Why are we doing this
- The crack! Be proud of your weapon! Walk tall!
- Raise awareness for mens mental health
- Raise money for Pieta House - our chosen charity for this campaign
What's expected of you
It's simple ...
- The basic idea is that lads will appear in public in November with their weapon of choice. This can start with a clean shave or if you have a beard already - create your starting weapon from it - and groom that baby throughout.
- We'll ask you to submit 4 photos over the course of November after your initial photo at the beginning - so recap - 1 at the start, 1 at the end and 3 in between! You'll be asked each time to select the weapon you're aiming for - we'll use this as part of the judging at the end to see if you're dreaming?
- All your weapon submissions can be submitted here. Don't worry - we'll remind you on the Saturday before each Sunday via email and will provide you with all the information and links you need - no excuses!
- Each time you submit, your weapon will be added to a collage of weapons here. We'll use this as a basis to judge the bests weapons and we'll promote the campaign using this to raise funds for Pieta House
- At the end of the month - we'll have a shave off (venue to be decided) - and we'll have a very special prize for the best weapon. Hopefully we'll be out of lock down at that point and may have a few beers where we can bid fair well to our November babies.

St Margarets Movember 2020 - you ready to weapon up? 2 days to go!
This November - we're looking for as many St Margarets men as possible to take part in our Movember 2020 and raise as much as possible for our chosen charity Pieta House. It’s a charity close to everyone’s heart and I’m sure we’ve all been touched by the nature of it in some way or other.
At a minimum - we'd suggest a rough target of €20 per head - so get sponsored and raise as much as possible over the month - and deposit your funds into our Go Fund Me. We can arrange printed sponsorship cards for anyone that wants (request by emailing admin@stmargaretsgaa.ie).
If you want to participate ....
- Join our whatsapp group
- Have a clean shave Oct 31st
- 'Grow the mo' over the course of November
- Every week in November - upload a pic of your weapons progress (upload to Whatsapp group / dedicated link will be provided)
- Throughout November - self promote (always include the Go Fund Me link in your own promotions) - lets raise as much as possible!
- Participate in shave off (if in country) - Dec 1st - COVID permitted
Remember - this is all fun - needed more during these strange times - and if we can raise some awareness for mens mental health - great. But let's raise as much cash as possible for Pieta House and we'll be proud to write and send that cheque Dec 1st.
