Join me on Monday 15 April as I chat to Amelia about her journey, the reasons for embarking on the project, her experiences and the success of the book - including the clothes-optional launch party spilling out onto the pavement of London's Piccadilly!
Amelia's other projects have included an exhibition and book in The Houses of Parliament (209 Women) and photographing the official women's rights marches and campaigns during the centennial year (2018) that women won the right to vote in Britain. She is currently working on a second book on this subject. She hosts regular workshops and body positivity photography sessions photographing members of the public nude and in a raw and unretouched style to celebrate the diversity and variety of bodies that we don't always see in modern media and often photographs pregnant women naked to show the beauty of the transitional period of the female form and then women postpartum with their babies.
Join us on the night over in the BN shop and buy the book here!
Hidden Beach is owned by Grupo Lomas and operated by Lomas Hospitality, the group's hotel management division, the luxury hotel has 43 suites, a Presidential Villa and direct access to a private beach.
There’s a swim-up bar and tents for individual romantic dinners plus regular entertainment and a restaurant with a menu that changes every night. Unlike many places around the world, 24/7 nudity is permitted, including for dining. There is also a weekly nude cruise and occasional beach BBQs.
Hidden Beach Resort guests are also able to visit the adjacent (non-Naturist) El Dorado Seaside Suites and El Dorado Seaside Palms where ten further restaurants are at their disposal, providing between them a huge range of cuisines from around the globe. The area is also rich in tourist attractions, from Mayan archaeological sites, to busy sea front towns and the clear, blue waters of limestone cenotes.
Best of all, our friends at Hidden Beach Resort are offering a discount of 10% to BN members for bookings made before 15 July 2024, holidays to be taken before 10 January 2025 using the promotional code to be found here (log-in required).
Visit lomashospitality.com for details of how to book and T&Cs.
Unusually, this year the cafe will be open for light refreshments and we have booked a local curry restaurant for after the event!

The end of the Sunfolk redevelopment project is in site after nearly four years of design, planning and construction work. If the weather gods continue to be as co-operative as they have been over the last couple of weeks, we will be able to open the site for bookings from 31 May - we're really looking forward to welcoming BN members and other Naturists back to the site!
The redevelopment project has been a huge challenge for our organisation in many ways, and has only been possible thanks to the support of countless members who have given their time, expertise and donated money towards the cost of the project. We're now asking for support from members and others with a final 'push' as we approach the opening date - there are plenty of opportunities over the next couple of months to volunteer to help with the finishing touches. There are many items we need to purchase - if you head over to the BN Shop you'll find a range of items that we will need at the site which you can 'purchase' online (your 'purchase' will be in the form of a donation which we will then use to buy the items you select). You'll find a range of different items from £3 to £300 - all of which will make an important contribution to the experience we are able to offer visitors on site.
Thank you!

In each episode, we delve into insightful conversations, exploring various aspects of Naturism through the lens of womens' experiences. Whether you are a seasoned Naturist, new to the way of life or just intrigued, we aim to educate and inspire. We highlight the experiences, challenges, and triumphs of women in Naturism. Promoting body acceptance and self love, we explore how women across the planet have shed their clothes and freed up their minds, leading them toward a more fulfilling life in all areas; one that no longer keeps them restricted - emotionally, mentally, physically, and in all other ways.
This time, Helen interviews Martha Vickery, a 27 year old dreadmaker from Somerset, UK. Martha joined British Naturism after a naturist waterpark experience that truly turned her life around. Having fought with her weight and body dysmorphic attitudes through her teens, she is now a public leading light for younger women in Naturism.
The BN Women in Focus podcast will be available on Saturday 6 April on the following platforms:

We've got over 500 Great British Skinny Dips and six Naked Heart Walks to talk about!
...but it's not enough, and we'll also talk about how we can increase the numbers - and how you can help!
The BN/BHF team includes representation from BHF and is made up of about 20 people from around the country, meeting fortnightly on Zoom and chatting on What's App. It's proved to be a great way to work and these outreach projects - and fundraising for our charity - is stronger as a result.
Join the session on the night over in the BN shop

We've also revised the pricing structure this year to allow even more people to attend! It’s a brilliant way for you to introduce people you know to social nudity.
We’re also on the lookout for more venues to enjoy as nature intended during the Spring and Summer months and into the Autumn—please don’t hesitate to get in touch with suggestions!
Their newsletter - Focus - is published every two months and provides an update as to what’s going on in the INF and beyond. The latest edition has as its headline the news that BN’s James Shuttleworth has been appointed as the new Youth Officer for EuNat. Other articles feature information on a new naturist campsite on the Tuscan Coast, an overview of the 2024 Big Nude Boat cruise that took place in February, and notification of an upcoming exhibition called “Naturist Paradise” to be held in Marseille from July to December. There is also an article outlining progress on modernising the INF-FNI through updates to its statutes and rules.
It's available from the BN website downloads section
It’s not about ‘marketing’, nor is it about ‘selling Naturism’ - ie the process of educating people about the many benefits of a naked lifestyle and persuading them to give it a go.
It’s about is encouraging all those existing Naturists in the UK (millions, according to the 2022 BN Ipsos survey) to consider becoming members of British Naturism, thus boosting our numbers and, through their subscriptions, our revenue with which to do what we do - on behalf of everyone.
We've created a crib-sheet that you can download, packed with information. There's also a Forum topic so you can let us know how you get on!
Although this is a one-off event, who knows what it will lead to? It’s in your hands—if it is well supported, it would surely be repeated, just as happened with the Wigton Pool - where a monthly skinny dip run by the venue now takes place - and Shap Lido. We're constantly looking to bring the Great British Skinny Dips to your location.
Tickets can be purchased via the BN Shop. This is a BHF Fundraising event - so you are also welcome to donate on the night and new-to-Naturism swimmers are welcome to join us to experience clothes free swimming, just as nature intended! Bring your friends!
Many more events in the North West are listed here, and check out all the swims happening under the banner of the Great British Skinny Dip
Our BN IT Systems
We’re active in so many ways!
Keep your website in vision!
Our main website at bn.org.uk is generated using a Content Management System (CMS) called Invision. The off-the-shelf version has been considerably enhanced by BN’s IT volunteers over the years. A new release is expected for 2025 and because of our enhancements it will take a lot of work to make sure our code still works. For those that are interested, we use cPanel for admin involving files, databases and email.
Hey BN Bro, you’re aMember Pro!
aMember Pro is the software used for our membership system. This has also been enhanced, and connects with BN’s other systems, for example to support membership verification and linking for logins to both the website and BN shop at shop.bn.org.uk which itself is hosted on Shopify.
No monkeying about, let’s get those newsletters out!
We have configured MailChimp to create the newsletter systems and subscriber databases for the weekly BN ezine and periodic regional newsletters, which keep us all informed of BN news and events.
A massive presence!
Not all of our online presence is directly maintained by the BN IT team, but we get involved when needed. Thanks to the volunteers who help with them! They include the Women in Naturism podcast podcast.bn.org.uk/womeninfocus, outreach projects for the Great British Skinny Dip greatbritishskinnydip.co.uk and Naked Heart Walks nakedheartwalk.org.uk, dedicated event events.bn.org.uk or venue sites for ‘EveryBody’ thisiseverybody.co.uk and British Naturism: Sunfolk sunfolk.bn.org.uk, and a variety of social media accounts including Facebook, X/Twitter, Instagram and You Tube.
BN IT projects
We are excited to be able to tell you about a few of the forthcoming IT projects that will be enhancing this website:
Modern Look-&-Feel: having listened to member feedback we have set up a team to design and implement a more modern look. As part of this project, we will look at how to improve navigation, reducing the number of clicks required to get to desired content. As mentioned before, the customisation we’ve made to the off-the-shelf software will need to be taken into account when the new version of the software is released.
Calendar management and integration: we are lucky to have many events that we need to make people aware of, both inside and outside of Naturism - and they are currently listed in many different places. We are looking to bring them all together in one place, namely the BN website calendar bn.org.uk/events, making it easier to find them and avoiding the need for event hosts to add them in multiple online locations.
If you are you looking to expand your experience in developing IT solutions - check out the following!
We are seeking to expand our team of IT developers with opportunities for you to use and develop your skills in many disciplines; whether you are relatively new to IT or have long experience your skillset could benefit the Naturist community.
Google Analytics Gurus
Use your current Google Analytics (GA) skills and develop new GA4 skills for further career opportunities or just out of intellectual curiosity, Your expertise will help understanding and the best implementing of GA features such as:
Explorations and custom reports Path analysis Domain tracking
Restful Web & CMS Developers
Opportunities exist to learn and expand your experience of developing RESTful applications, developing APIs using JSON to support interaction between BN and various internal and external systems. Including designing and building databases, pages and developing widgets using PHP and the traditional web technology stack of HTML, CSS and Javascript. BN’s CMS is Invision, similar to Wordpress, so Invision experience is not necessary.
Along the journey, you will be able to increase your knowledge and experience of using SQL, cPanel and CloudLinux on real world systems.
UI/UX Designers
Use your analytical and design skills to help BN rejuvenate our website and ensure it is attractive, relevant and exciting to our community by developing the new “look and feel”.
The look: help BN formulate page structure & layout The feel: help BN redesign the navigation so our users can find content directly, with the fewest ‘clicks’
Let’s infuse our naturist zest for life, creativity and positivity into our website!
aMember Pro developers
With over 75,000 websites using aMember Pro, experience of developing and maintaining BN’s implementation will be great experience for anyone looking to work on other websites (such as gyms etc) involving memberships or integration with CMSs and payment systems.
Please get in touch if you would like to gain or use your experience in any of the areas above; it would be great to include you in our team of BN IT Volunteers! Please note that volunteers must be members of British Naturism and based in the UK.
Since we opened, with five guest rooms and two self-catering cottages, Finca Johanna has become much more than a Naturist holiday destination. It's an oasis where conviviality, relaxation and a connection with nature come together. We've welcomed visitors from all over the world, sharing moments of happiness, relaxation and friendship in an exceptional setting.
With the friends who have helped us since the Finca was founded, with our visitors from Andalusia and the far reachers of the world who have brought this place to life, we have created a haven of peace where you can relax by the pool, feel the sun's rays caress your skin and celebrate the Naturist lifestyle in a warm atmosphere. To mark this tenth year of shared happiness, we're organising a series of special events throughout the season, from outdoor music parties to evenings under the stars.
Come and celebrate the freedom, friendship and simplicity of the Naturist lifestyle in a place where nature and harmony take pride of place.
There is a 10% discount on accommodation for British Naturism members and a bottle of cava for all bookings!
Find out more and make your booking at fincajohanna.com.
We're looking for a team of people to host our popular group holidays. There are four in 2024 and our plan is to expand that number in the future. We need BN members to represent the organisation, look after the guests, organise an activity programme - and make sure everyone has fun!
Like all of our volunteering roles it's challenging but satisfying. Flights, travel expenses, accommodation and other reasonable expenses will be covered.
Find out more including how to apply on our volunteering webpages. Bon Voyage!
1) The Ipsos survey of 2022 revealed that 6.75 million people in the UK would describe themselves as Naturists, yet we seem to see or engage only a small percentage of them.
2) We are all keen to see Naturism normalised to the extent that being naked did not attract comment.
The 6.75 million represent 'low-hanging fruit' as we seek to grow Naturist events and their involvement would bring us to the level of normality we seek, as well as create the demand that would drive the creation of new Naturist experiences.
Therefore, The Debate this week will discuss steps we can take as individuals to encourage those people to join us, whether that is membership of British Naturism, participation in organised events, or even just gaining more confidence to be naked in their private lives.
As we move into the warmer weather, this is the ideal time encourage people to participate, so join us for the discussion.
Join us on the night over in the BN shop

The National Trust are committed to providing equal access and enjoyment to everyone, and attempt to support all groups equally. While the Trust is overseen by a central committee, each of the locations act independently in many respects, and recent discussions with the Trust have resulted in the creation of a guidance note to explain Naturism to the managers of individual locations. The guidance note provides managers with the information they need to support a Naturist event at their venue and key aspects will also be woven into their internal guidance. Crucially, these notes have arisen from collaborative conversations so don’t attempt to set one group as more important than others, and instead create a framework where all visitors have equal status.
We are collectively optimistic that these new steps will strengthen the relationship between British Naturism and the National Trust, make it easier for Naturist visits to be arranged and bring new members to the National Trust. An outcome that benefits everybody.
Thanks to Sskips for the image from NT's Scotney Castle
A comment that is often made is that with so much going on, it can be easy to miss activities that you would otherwise love to go to. To solve this problem we have created the new Sports Events Listing Board, now available to members (log in required)
Members often tell us that the main reason they join is to find opportunities and be part of a vibrant community, so the Sports Events Listing Board is just one more reason to join BN today!
Since the beginning of the year, we have been running two outreach campaigns, TheNakedTruth video soundbite campaign and the Women in Focus podcasts. Both campaigns are of interest to all people and match very closely the International Women’s Day 2024 theme of “Inspire Inclusion”.
TheNakedTruth
TheNakedTruth is a social media campaign that uses 20-40 second video soundbites to answer frequently asked questions and share people’s stories of how Naturism has helped them. The ages of people watching the videos are spread evenly across adult life and there are equal numbers of male and female viewers overall. However, when looking at engagement below the age of 44 we see that 68% of viewers are women. This fits with what we know about the effect of society’s pressure on the body image and therefore mental wellbeing of young women and that many young women are seeking opportunities to reclaim their identities. We have a duty to stand up against the negative stereotyping and unequal treatment that young women face so often and we frequently hear how the acceptance and equality found in Naturism can bring peace of mind.
TheNakedTruth soundbites can be found in several places, and we would encourage people to check them out, subscribe and share the clips that resonate with them.
https://www.youtube.com/@British_Naturism
https://www.instagram.com/british_naturism/
https://www.instagram.com/bn.mark.bass/
Women in Focus Podcasts
The second campaign uses a longer podcast format to showcase the views of female Naturists in more depth. Women In Naturism Officer, Helen Berriman, has interviewed a series of women with stories to tell about Naturism and about their lives and the podcasts are released at monthly intervals. If you are looking for something to sink your teeth into about how nude recreation can have a positive impact on your life, they are certainly worth a listen. Although the podcasts focus on the experiences of women, the stories will resonate with everybody and can be found here:
https://podcast.bn.org.uk/womeninfocus/#ad9462b1-2127-4ec2-a9d1-e46e715bb373
Together these campaigns share the positive experiences that can be found in Naturism and advance the gender equality that Naturism can provide. A suitable topic for International Women’s Day.
