Bold challenge - Bald result!

You done it! So he did it! He is now as bald as a hard boiled egg. Matilda Hospital Sedan Chair Race Police Team Captain, Senior Inspector Mr Simon Southgate, promised OffBeat readers that if they raised more than the team's $20,000 target for the charity race, he would shave off his hair.

Well, you did! The Team was able to raise considerably more than its $20,000 target for local charities, and the money is still coming in.

Unfortunately, and despite a most valiant effort, the Force Team was unable to hold on to its unbeaten record and win this year's event. It was edged into second place by the HSBC Team.

"The real winners of this race will be those who benefit from the money raised. The Team would like to say thank you to those who made donations and who came to cheer us on," said Mr Southgate.

Then, smiling bravely, he eased himself into the barber's chair. "You win some, you lose some" he was heard mutter, "We'll be back next year - and so will my hair!"

Mr Simon Southgate may have lost his hair - but it was all in a good cause!
