After two long years of Covid inactivity, the North West Region is roaring back. Swims are almost fully operational and the BN North West committee wants to expand on them and other events “exponentially.”
Clubs will be opening their doors to visitors again in the Spring, aiming to attract more visits from those who found the desire during the Pandemic to enjoy practising Naturism locally. This new-found enthusiasm could help boost membership numbers for the clubs and British Naturism.
Diaries are already filling up with many dates for smaller events - including Summer swim sessions at the Shap Lido, club sports events, more new lido swims, beach days, and so on. We’re also connecting with National Events management for larger events such as the visit to Adlington Hall Gardens, which we hope to expand and accommodate the new North West ‘Naked Heart Walk’ for British Heart Foundation.
NW Club and Swim Events.
For the full list of North West Swims and other events visit the BN NW Calendar online on the BN Website. Among the many activities, you’ll find weekly swims in Manchester, Chester and Birmingham, and monthly swims in Wigton, Cumbria, Poulton (Lancs) and Worsley (Greater Manchester). All these are currently up and running. And for all the latest news from the North West Region, check out the North West pages on the BN website.
The Great British Skinny Dip.
The fantastic Great British Skinny Dip Campaign is getting more popular every year, and 2022 promises to be even bigger than before! We’ll again be supporting the British Heart Foundation. We’re on the hunt for venues to accommodate a dip, so if you have one in mind, please don’t hesitate to contact me. Check out the new GBSD website.
Two new BN Clubs
Welcome to our two new BN member clubs! Wrekin View and the N&W Outreach club have come on board and we hope they can be represented on the NW committee.
The next Regional Meeting is an EGM - open to all BN members in the North West region, to be held via Zoom on Tuesday 15th March at 8 p.m. Find out more at https://www.bn.org.uk/calendar/event/6750-nw-region-egm/
