Coventry Woman Wins Miss Movember

By Mike Ashworth | November 27, 2011

The end of Movember is marked across the United Kingdom (and around the world) with a series of Gala Partés. These are held to thank Mo Bros and Mo Sistas for helping to raise awareness and funds for men’s health.

Last night, a group of us, representing Team Achieve, attended the Movember Gala Party at the Rose Villa Tavern in Birmingham. It was an amazing site, a pub packed to the rafters with mobro’s and mosista’s.

We hadn’t thought much about pitching up and entering for any of the various titles on offer such as Best Mo in Character, Team Mo, Man of Movember 2011 so it was a good job that Rachael, pictured below whilst working at the Travelodge in Coventry, brought along her rather fetching fake tash.

She caught the attention of the various judges circulating amongst the crowds of mo’s. Here is Rachael having just been handed her “You’ve been nominated” lanyard and pass.

Rachael then made it to the final three. They were invited on to the stage and for the people in attendance to vote for them by way of shouting and screaming at the top of their voices for person they wanted to win. I’d like to say it was a close call, however, I’d be lying as Rachael won hands down!

I’m not entirely certain what happens next, however, I think Rachael may now go on to a national event where the regional Miss Movember winners will compete for the UK title.
