A few weeks ago, we had snow and log fires, this week sun and sunburn! What beautiful weather we have had, fingers crossed it will last throughout our summer season. The calendar is filling up beautifully. My problem is how to fit everything in!
Did you know that, unless stated otherwise, you can attend any event, no matter where you live? Just check the registration details for the location or club, and, in most cases, you can just phone or email ahead and ask for an invite.
There are some big events planned for May. The SANER region welcomes all back to the Gathering, with the last few rooms available still to book. At the opposite end of the luxury scale is Nudestock in Doncaster, where the YEM region welcome you to a budget week on a campsite. Both are currently still booking – but please do so sooner rather than later to avoid disappointment! Watch the forum for up-to-date details on events and activities.
Here's more to look forward to.
Reminder: Nudefest, 4 July-11 July
Not many day tickets left! Book soon to avoid disappointment! https://shop.bn.org.uk/pages/nudefest
