British Naturism is the UK member of the International Naturist Federation, the global organisation for Naturists that exists to represent, support and coordinate Naturist activity worldwide. If you are a BN member, you are automatically a member of the INF! You can find out more at inf-fni.org.
Their newsletter - Focus - is published every two months and provides an update as to what’s going on in the INF and beyond.
The August edition of Focus is packed full of interesting articles relating to events, centenary celebrations, retreats, and cultural visits. It has as its headline, a report on the annual Alpe Adria gathering in Croatia in May, that offered a wide range of sporting and other less energetic activities! Other articles provide accounts of two Naturist centenaries - in Wuppertal in Germany and Alsace in France. There is an interesting feature about young Naturists (18-35 y) in Catalonia - a growing and active community with a strong social media presence and an informative website. They arrange activities for their group throughout the year. They want to normalise the naturist lifestyle, preserve Naturist spaces and to live in harmony with nature.
Focus also provides information on a wellness retreat for Naturists in the Piedmont region of Italy, in the rolling hills of Monferrato. The spa has rooms to rent in addition to a wide range of wellness facilities for day guests. Finally, there is news of the emergence of a new Belgian group of culturally minded Naturists (the so-called ‘naturally nude Eves and Adams’). As its first event, the group visited a glass exhibition in Antwerp.
