Kiama MP Gareth Ward to colour his hair as part of North Nowra Tavern's World's Greatest Shave

Why not head along to the North Nowra Tavern and support its World's Greatest Shave event.

From 5pm, Friday, March 12, a number of Tavern staff members will be shaving their heads and colouring their hair for the cause, and they will be joined by Kiama MP Gareth Ward, who will also be coloring his hair.

It will be very interesting to see what colour the Minister for Families, Communities and Disability Services ends up with - hot pink, bright green, blue, purple and fluorescent turquoise are among some of the suggestions so far.

North Nowra Tavern operations manager Rob Stanley-Jones said the event is all raising money for a great cause, the Leukemia Foundation.

"A few of Gareth's staff members are also joining the efforts," he said.

North Nowra hairdresser Curl and Clip have also come on board and will be undertaking the colouring and shaving.

"At this stage we have around 10 people shaving/colouring their hair," Mr Stanley-Jones said.

Mr Stanley-Jones will be among those to "lose his hair", general manager and licensee Michelle will lose her locks if $10,000 is raised, bus driver Clancy is also involved as is Rowan from the bottleshop, who will shave his beard.

Aiden, Kelly and Hannah from the bistro are all colouring their hair.

"It's a great cause, come along and support the event and raise money for the Leukemia Foundation," Mr Stanley-Jones said.

The shaving and colouring is set to take place on the complex's front veranda overlooking the new beer garden area.

The Marlow Hotel Group took over the Tavern in July last year and is busy with an extensive refurbishment, including a completed new beer garden in front of the complex, and are currently resurfacing the back car park, with more to come.
