Mens Health Week: Richard Shaw Urges Men Check Their Balls

While holding his balls in the Durham Ox Richard Shaw manager of Beverley ARLC, is hoping to help persuade men in Beverley and the East Riding to find out more about keeping themselves fit and healthy at a quiz and comedy night being hosted in Hull at the Ruscadors Pub.

The event is on Thursday June 16th from 7.30pm will be attended by players from both Hull KR and Hull FC rugby league teams and is an opportunity to take part in a ‘health themed’ quiz where prizes include signed rugby memorabilia, tickets to see Hull FC and gym membership.

At the same time there will be the opportunity to have a blood pressure and cholesterol check, pick up a free health pack, 5 minute Man MOT booklet or have a chat with health professionals specialising in men’s health issues.

June Agius, Clinical Nurse Specialist said, “Men can sometimes be uneasy at going for health checks or talking with health professionals about any concerns they may have and can often ignore health issues for long periods of time.

This evening is an opportunity for us to take healthcare outside the clinic and to local men so they can find out more or ask questions in a relaxed, informal environment. You take your cars in for an MOT every year so why not book one for your health?”

Local comedian, Andy Train will be hosting the evening and there will also be a raffle raising money for bowel cancer and the British Heart Foundation.

If you want to take part in the quiz you can register your team of up to six people beforehand by contacting June on  07854 452332 or emailing june.agius1@chcphull.nhs.uk. If you just want to come and find out some more information then please just come along on the night.
