Today I have been to the parish lunch where I have made it known publicly that I am willing to have my head shaved for McMillan.

Organizing is not my forte at all so a couple of women in the village who are into all that sort of thing are going to do all that for me.

Looks like it is going to have to happen now!

wow Sharron -what a brave and selfless thing to do - good on you!!! <3 <3

Sharron Report 21 Jul 2016 14:47

Ann, it's hair. I wouldn't have teeth out or a leg off for it.

Having a cold head for a few weeks is nothing much and you never know when you might need them.

Some of us no longer need our head shaved. But that's another tale.

I don't mind talking about hares though.

Good on you Sharron, shall I knit you a wooly hat?

There will have to be at least one photograph if I have any hope of being sponsored. I could tell you anything.

It is the church fete on Saturday. We need to get this over with before we decide on a date and I need that before I can sign up officially.

Good on you. I did that 3 or 4 years ago. I was advised to have a #1 cut rather than a shave, not sure why, but I raised quite a bit. I had a page for pledges and a tin in the Hospice shop for cash donations.

I was only thinking just now how much I will look like Humpty Dumpty.

Probably the best thing I can do is to arrange to meet one of the members when I have had it done so they can verify that I am not working a scam.

One really lovely lady, in fact she will be organizing most of it, said she would be so sorry to see me lose my head hair, couldn't I do somewhere else! Well, no, if I am having it done in public, it must be head!

I hope she spoke spontaneously or was thinking I might have my legs waxed or something.

You can register on here Sharon ............... respect to you for raising funds ..... I too will sponsor you on this site. https://bravetheshave.org.uk/join/

Sharron

Sharron Report 24 Jul 2016 20:18

I can't register yet as we don't have a date.

The ladies I have railroaded into organizing it are also the church fete committee and that was yesterday so they now have time to get to grips with this.

While I don't mind letting them have the use of my head, I don't trust myself, especially in my current state of mind, to organize the rest of it.

Sharron

Sharron Report 26 Jul 2016 12:30

Have just spoken to my lovely lady who is organizing and we are having a meeting on 5th August about arrangements.

Looks like we have all the great and the good of the village on board.

I will be able to register after that and get the sponsorship forms and things but it looks like you can do it directly to the site by putting in the name of the person you are sponsoring.

Do you propose a special event in the village for this wondrous happening or maybe you will combine it with Harvest festivities in the parish?
