The best moustaches in the country were on display in Bath

The best moustaches from across the country were on display in Bath. People with a passion for the upper lip hair visited the city for the annual general meeting of The Handlebar Club. The club was founded in April 1947, and aims to bring together moustache wearers for social events and to raise money for charity. Around 45 members met at the Lansdown Grove Hotel, and enjoyed a visit to the Roman Baths. Chairman Rod Littlewood said: "It is a club made up of people proud to have moustaches. "We have been attracting quite a lot of attention in the city today." The Handlebar Club was started in the dressing room of comedian Jimmy Edwards at The Windmill Theatre in London. There were 10 founder members, including BBC radio sports commentator Raymond Glendenning, and comedy writer Frank Muir. The minutes of that first meeting state that although there was a good number of founder members they were outnumbered by chorus girls. Dan Sederowsky came all the way from Sweden. He said: "I have been a member for years and really enjoy it. "It is a great chance to meet up with people, and I have made some wonderful friends through the club." Conrad Amis, from London, said: "We attract a lot of attention for our moustaches. "The ladies love it, and are always asking questions." The club website has a forum for members to discuss the best ways to style and groom their moustaches. Jonathan Van Halbert, from Derbyshire is the British champion in the English Moustache category of theBeard and Moustache Championships. He said: "You must use a good quality wax, otherwise the moustache can become brittle and break off. "Some of the men in the group use their wives conditioner. "It is fun to style the moustache, makes it stand out and look good." The club is also well represented at the annual World Beard and Moustache Championships, which take place across the world, with this years event in Germany on November 2. *Do you have a moustache?
