Dave and I were munching our late dinner at Maccie D’s long before 10 p.m! There were an incredible 71 races on the schedule, along with several team relays. Swimmers competed in front crawl,

Once again the gala is combined with the opportunity to play a lot of fun sports including badminton, squash and pickleball. It's not too late to book and it's not obl

As the weather starts to improve, many BN members will be thinking about how they can make the most of their opportunities for Naturism across the spring and summer months.

This made it tricky for potential attendees to know where to find what they were looking for – and those that were just browsing could easily miss events they would have liked to have known about! We’ve now brought them all together in one place so that you can find and browse all UK events, big and small. The

We are now enjoying the 7th year of the monthly Great British Skinny Dip hosted by the Wigton Pool, Cumbria, since the inaugural event on the 10th November 2018.

Enjoy! And don't forget that we are always looking for reports on great gatherings for the magazine and elsewhere...
