I had a little Great British Skinny Dip this week at the Lancashire Sun Club’s ladies-only event, and while I was floating gently around the pool, I realised I hadn’t checked the GBSD calendar for some time. I’ve now done so and am happy to report that there are some new events listed. Including another women-only, clothing-optional swim! It’s heartening to see the growing number of these events because it’s so important that we make Naturism a comfortable, fun space for women as well as men.
The new additions that caught my eye are:
June 4: Earls Colne, North Essex (at a BN member’s home, with large grounds)
June 4: The Naturist Foundation at Brockenhurst, Kent
June 10: Peterborough Lido, Bishop's Rd Peterborough - other dates in July and August too
June 10: Ladies Only Swim, South Forest Leisure Centre, Edwinstowe
July 22: South Yorkshire Naturists at Bramcote, Notts
July 30: Marbury Park swimming pool, Northwich
September 3: Beach day at Portstewart Strand, Northern Ireland
