Seven workmates at the Telegraph & Argus print production department are clean-shaven again after completing the Movember charity challenge.

Dave McCabe, Mark Lawrenson, John Sharp, Dave McCabe, Neil Beck, Carl Rattenbury, Grahame Topham and Jeff Bajwa have raised about £300 for the national charity appeal to support research into men's health fighting prostate and testicular cancer.

Mr McCabe, 45, said there was a variety of moustaches, from a curling one to a big bushy effort. He added: “It was a novelty for us all, and it started to get a bit itchy towards the end - but it was worth it.

“It was a fun way to raise money for a serious cause. We will be doing it again next year.”
