"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

Not at all.But i do see the Yankees as fielding a larger gathering every year.The Germans might be outnumbered in a few.
I look forward a few more in the States in the future.Air travel is getting way too expensive.

Well I would suggest Switzerland. Why not choose Bern?

It would be nice 8)

Otherwise France and especially Paris would be a good choice...

I plan on attending/competing in 2009. I had really actually hoped to get to Brighton, but it's just not in the travel budget at the moment ... and we've got to paint the exterior of the house this fall.

Like you, I hope the extra time will really get me a 'tache of contention.

Sorry Dave

Our Forum Hosting guys had a disk crash, and had to restore a much earlier backup, which must have been taken just before you joined.

Looking forward to the Achorage pics.

I think you could still do with this smaller version of your club's logo I did for you... only 40Kb instead of the original 1997Kb!

Regards

David

Greetings from Alaska!
I know some were concerned about our city being involved in the WBMC 2009. One thing I need to make clear is that it is our club that will host the event ,not the city goverment. The city is very concious that all who come enjoy the visit and have pleged there support in providing travel/lodging and other important information to make the stay enjoyable. The railroad is providing a train to take the contestants on a site seeing trip down the Seward Highway. Now thats red carpet treatment! Go to our web page and see the fishing photos we have posted, but thats not all we have to offer all who come. Wonderfull sites of all types land/wildlife to name a few. Spring temp is in the mid 50's and things really get moving. People have offered to be interpreters at the event to assist in the quick turn around on questions one may have. Make no mistake we have been conducting beard competition for over 57 years. Folks here in Alaska have a appreciation and deep respect for quality facial hair. I say this because some worry about how the people would be treated here. To all who desire to compete be you in a club or just a individual , All are welcome, because that is the way we do it here-no exceptions. You will not be disapointed this I know. We have been talking to the airlines to find the date which offers our european friends the best chance to travel here at a economical rate. This is the pledge that the Southcentral Alaska Beard& Moustache Club makes to the World. We are waiting for you-our friends and neighbors.
David Traver President-Southcentral Alaska Beard & Moustache Club.

Aye, all of my posts were lost in the crash too, David.

I have already set aside the date and the funds - I am looking forward to visiting your fair state in 2009!

Regards,

Matthew
