"A Handlebar Moustache is indeed a glorious facial hair feature. Whether it stands alone or crowns some other form of facial hair, the glory comes from it being a 'Handlebar' and not simply an ordinary moustache." - Schnauzer

gilles,

You had better alert all the German clubs, their websites all say Heiwiller. You know what they're like for punctuality; that extra four km drive could cost them six minutes and the risk of missing their category. Or...., is that what you had in mind, a cunning French deception? :wink:

No malice from me ! I got the info from Hervé Diebolt (world champion in the beard free style category) who is the organizer of the event. I think I will warn all clubs and participants as soon as possible. Any chance to see you in Alsace next year ?

The British Beard Club and The Handlebar Club are currently in discussions jointly to mount The British Beard and Moustache Championships in Autumn (the Fall of) 2012. No date or details yet.
