Citadel Youth Centre, as part of their fundraising efforts in celebration of their thirty years of sterling work with the young people of Leith, are arranging a sponsored ‘Shaveathon’ under the banner Dave’s Big Shave – top and tail I’m given to understand – for the brave and selfless Dave Woods. (No relation to that rapscallion Tiger ‘Sorry’ Woods). Dave, rather rashly we feel, has suggested that the kids can do the necessary, but The Leither understands the redoubtable Willy Barr has his beady eyes set on an, ahem, celebrity crimper. Our money is on Achmed from the Alan Breck. The carnage will take place at The Citadel on March 19^th at 2pm, the kids will be doing a ‘before and after’ drawing and the most accurate will receive a prize. We tracked down Dave having a stiff brandy – for the nerves – the boys munificence knows no bounds, he suggested people get in touch if anyone wanted their sofa re-stuffed and asked if any of our readers would donate a hat.
