just about men growing moustaches.

Australia during November, you’ll be helping
Stomping Ground raise awareness about
men’s health. Stomping Ground is also
launching the #BeerMo beer coaster, which
will be distributed to all outlets who stock
the Movember beer through November. For

DINNER EN BLANC
November 4
Launched in Paris in 1988 by François
Pasquier and a handful of friends, Le
Dîner en Blanc has become a worldwide
epicurean phenomenon. Diners dressed
head to toe in white will gather at meeting
points around the city before being taken
by foot, bus or train to a secret venue.
Last year’s Brisbane event was held in the
botanic gardens. Adding to the mystery,
no trace is left behind. At the end of the
evening, people pack up their tables,
belongings and rubbish, then leave the
area as it was when they arrived. For more

the world, visit brisbane.dinerenblanc.comTHE SOURCE

Spring and summer
Now in its ninth year, the Big

Prostate Cancer Foundation of

a good cause. Launching
back in September (which is
International Prostate Cancer
Awareness Month), the
campaign runs throughout
spring and summer, and
is a great way for friends,
families and workmates to
come together to raise vital
funds and openly chat about
prostate cancer risk and the
importance of annual health
checks. For details and to
