2019 Beard, Shorts & Sandals Season Suspended
The Beard Liberation Front, the informal network of beard wearers, has said that with cold and wet weather in the forecast it has taken the difficult decision to suspend the 2019 Beard, Shorts and Sandals Season. A review will take place on Sunday 16th June
The BLF has relaxed guidelines for the 2019 season and brought in a new framework governing types of footwear and the length of shorts but not on the controversial issue of socks after a People’s Vote:
1] Shorts may be half length (to the knee) or three-quarter length-‘culottes’. The length of shorts is particularly important as climate change may mean that unprotected legs get sunburnt.
2] Footwear should be casual. There is a considerable range of sandal type footwear now available. Some leave parts of the feet and toes open to public view, while some does not. The BLF is not prescriptive about the matter.
3] Socks should generally not be worn following a People’s Vote on the issue
4] There is no prescription or definition on what type of beard may be worn, or how this may match with the shorts and sandals. This is left up to the individual.
BLF Organiser Keith Flett said, the Beard Liberation Front has a duty of care towards its supporters and looking at the weather forecast it is clearly not the weather for shorts and sandals, although beards will still be fine. For that reason we have taken the difficult decision to suspend the 2019 Beard, Shorts and Sandals Season
