News and articles about BN and the wonderful world of Naturism
AGM Reminder and Vote on Commercialisation of British Naturism We would like to remind members that the British Naturism AGM takes place this Sunday, and not to forget to register if you wish to attend and, more importantly, to vote.
This is particularly important this year as there is a member-led motion that will change the basic structure of British Naturism if it succeeds and instructs the first step away from a member-led organisation to a commercial one.
Regardless of whether you support or oppose the idea of replacing elected Directors with paid ones, do please use your vote.  What we must avoid is such changes being made and people voicing an opinion once it is too late. So even if you don’t normally pay attention to the governance, this one is worth looking at as it is a big one.
You can book to join the AGM here:
https://shop.bn.org.uk/pages/agm-2023 and is free of charge.
Note: If you have not used the BN shop before, you will need to link your membership to your shop account so that we can verify that those attending are members. Instructions on how to do so can be found here:
https://www.bn.org.uk/guides/bn-shop/the-bn-shop-and-your-membership-discounts-r50/
Voting and the AGM
We will again use electronic voting for AGM motions and other significant matters.  Details of motions and the voting system can be found here:
https://www.bn.org.uk/AGM2023
A discussion thread about the motions can be found here:

Now that the nights are drawing in, we are eager to welcome you back to as many Naked Fitness sessions as you can manage!
Thanks to those who completed our survey, it was really helpful and led to some of the changes we are implementing now, and in the future. One thing that was really clear is how much you value Naked Fitness.
Our slightly-reduced summer schedule comes to an end later this week but we are pleased to announce new and returning sessions heading into Christmas and beyond.
Firstly, all current sessions remain at the same times with the same instructors. That includes sessions of yoga, GroovX, meditation and group fitness, through the week. In addition:
• Ballet Barre with Sarah will be returning on a Monday at 1pm 
• A new low-intensity group fitness class will be starting at 6pm on a Wednesday with Roy
• Zumba will be returning on a Thursday evening at 6pm
All these new sessions start next week and are online and ready to book now!
Thanks again for all your support – we look forward to seeing you online.
 
If you have never been to a session or haven’t been for a while we'd like to encourage you to come back and feel the energy and positivity that Naked Fitness provides - make the time, get fit and stay healthy!
 
All the best
 
Mark, Georgia, Roy, Jooles, Katherine, Sarah, Ian & Amanda.
Sorry, folks, as mentioned in the ezine last week, there is a pre-AGM EC meeting tonight and so there won't be a Forum Live session.
News of the exciting interviews and topics coming up in the next few weeks to be announced soon!
We like to bring you news stories of forthcoming events - it spreads the word, encourages more people to book and shows just how vibrant the Naturist scene is in the UK. However - I'm happy to say - there are far too many to promote them all individually and so here is a complete list of all the events happening over just the next couple of weeks. Enjoy!

It's always terrific when non-Naturist venues get involved in the Great British Skinny Dip. Arundel Lido (pictured) is one of them and their next nude swim takes place this coming Sunday. It's also not a quick in-and-out, nor an inconvenient early morning or late night event but a four hour session from midday. Fantastic! Do give it your support if you can.
The season may be coming to an end, but we don't hibernate. There are many regular swims taking place around the country in the winter months - check out the BN calendar for details.
Don't find one in your area? Why not organise your own? We're happy to help!
We have a mammoth task ahead this weekend - moving and spreading topsoil for the new lawn at BN's very own site near St Albans. A number of our regular volunteers are away (sunning themselves) and so we are lower on numbers than usual!
If anyone fancies a day of wheelbarrowing top soil and wielding a rake then it would be great to welcome you. Working hours will be 10.00am to 3.00pm on both Saturday and Sunday.
If you can make it, please let me know - mark.walsh@bn.org.uk.

The sun shone and there was a warm and gentle breeze for the first GBSD at Findhorn beach, writes organiser Alan.
Twenty-five people, men and women between the ages of 20s and 70s, made the journey for the event (e.g. from Berwick, Edinburgh, Ayr, Inverness) with several making a weekend of it to spend more time in this beautiful part of the country.

The sea was around 15°C (the warmest ever for this time of year) so our dippers were keen to get in the water, with many staying in and chatting for over 20 mins. The event was very relaxed and sociable with many friends meeting in person for the first time. The group also inspired others along the beach to strip off and take to the water. Unfortunately no dolphins or seals this time.

I was inspired to set up the event because there were no GBSD events nearby! I deliberately kept this event low key to see how the venue worked out. It turned out to be ideal so watch out for the next event in 2024. The date will be announced  much further ahead and there will be more publicity to ensure that it is bigger and even better.

With thanks to the Findhorn Dunes Trust for giving us permission to use this section of beach which they own. On the day, £137 was raised and this has been donated to the trust to enable them to continue to care for this fragile environment. The event was also endorsed by the Findhorn Village Conservation Company.
I'm proud of this one. Our subject matter means that it's not difficult for us to get attention paid to our activities and for us to be asked to comment on aspects of society and the stories of the day, and I deal with an average three or four approaches every week across the year. Our subject matter can also make people, authorities and big business nervous which hampers our progress somewhat with many obvious avenues to promotion closed to us. It was particularly pleasing, therefore to be asked by marketing and production company Mob Kitchen to help them make four films for You Tube for their client Stella Artois. We've all praised the Stella adverts on TV and in the press for their unfiltered lager and their willingness to be associated with naked people and were delighted that they wanted to continue the theme. 
We pitched in and found for them the majority of the people who would be involved and three out of the four locations - so much so that we get a mention in the films' descriptions on You Tube. Stella will be promoting it on social media and so please help by sharing the heck out of them on your accounts!
See the fourth film here - Cooking Au Naturel - Forage and check out parts 1, 2 and 3: Cooking Au Naturel - Swim - Cooking Au Naturel - Yoga - Cooking Au Naturel - Cycle
An interview with Kate Winslet by Vogue magazine earlier this week revealed some real insight into her history and her mindset.  The interview was about her upcoming film, “Lee”, which not for the first time in her career includes nudity.  However, the interview is far more insightful than just a promo attempt.
Winslet talks about how she has been body shamed throughout her career.  This started in her breakthrough role in Titanic where she was targeted by directors and critics for doing a nude scene despite being “the wrong shape” and was told she should “settle for less”. Her reaction to this shaming was “I wasn’t going to take that shit from anyone” and she has been doing nude scenes throughout her career to stand up to such  bullies.
We salute such commitment to body positivity.  Many of us have experienced such scathing comments and know the harm such treatment does to our confidence and mental health.  Young people in particular are suffering a body dysmorphia pandemic because parts of society tell them their own bodies are not good enough.  It takes guts to stand up to such sneers on such a public stage as Winslet has done and we can all take inspiration from the way she has always fought for ownership of her body.  There is no “wrong shape”. EveryBody is beautiful, it is our diversity that makes us magnificent as human beings.
So if you are being told that your body does not meet some arbitrary standard, remember that everybody is being told that, even movie stars and all that really matters is ourselves.
Stand up and be the incredible person that you are.

We've showcased member Richard's shows before and especially the performances where the audience are free to enjoy the show in the nude - including recently at the Edinburgh festival.
There's another chance coming up and a new show: Strangers in Between which is, 'a captivating Australian classic. This unmissable production delves into the complexities of identity and relationships, offering a mix of laughter and tears that will leave audiences deeply moved.'
The c-o opportunity is on the afternoon of 30 September in South London - tickets on sale now
We have three group holidays for British Naturism members currently booking (and are making plans for more in '24, so keep an eye out for announcements...)
All of our group holidays come with group leaders who are BN members, and a programme of activities.
First up is a weekend in Amsterdam and Zuiver Spa, later this month - only one room remaining!
Next month, we're off to Spain's El Portús - the Hacienda Montalvo studio apartments are sold out, but there are mobile homes available.
Finally (for now) there are only four bungalows available at Magnolias Natura, for April '24. Our picture shows the dunes at nearby Maspalomas beach.
Organiser Alan says, 'Join us at Findhorn East beach (postcode IV36 3AB) for the most northerly Great British Skinny Dip in the UK! This stunning location is at the end of a 7-mile beach to Burghead with views across the Moray Firth towards Caithness. Curious seals often come along to see what is happening and dolphins regularly visit the area.'
Let's make it an event to remember - more details here
Wow! What an amazing day we enjoyed walking naked through the beautiful Wiltshire countryside, writes Keith Bowman. 
Our Naked Heart Walk at the Fonthill Estate took place on Saturday 2 September after a delay of nearly two months following postponement of the original walk. The weather back then was atrocious with heavy rain and very strong winds forecast.  Today it just couldn’t have been more different with beautiful clear blue skies, hardly a cloud in sight with a warm gentle breeze.  It was bliss!
58 people took part including a couple of newbies, and between us we raised over £3,000 in donations to The British Heart Foundation.  Everyone was happy, friendly and chatty, as we naturists tend to be, and everyone had a great day out.  At one point we encountered a group of clothed walkers out for a quiet weekend ramble and gave them something to remember their visit by but everyone was good spirited and just smiled.  A few cyclists also passed by and had to concentrate hard to avoid falling off their machines but no harm came to them.
It was all really good fun so roll-on next year when we can do it all again!
Earlier this year, Channel 4 aired a programme called 'Naked Education' a mould-breaking series that considered the reality of the normal human body and pushed people to confront their own issues and gain in self-belief as a result. The programme also featured full-frontal nudity before the watershed and brought teenagers face to face with naked people.
Members of British Naturism were involved and next Monday, 18 September, I'm delighted to say that some of them have agreed to come on The Forum Live and tell us all about the experience. Our picture is a publicity still from the show - the presenters will not be on the Forum Live, sadly (although if anyone knows them and wants to ask...)
If you didn't see the programme, it's still available to watch now
Join our session on the night over in the BN shop
Access to The Forum Live is a benefit of membership - join us now!
We like to bring you news stories of forthcoming events - it spreads the word, encourages more people to book and shows just how vibrant the Naturist scene is in the UK. However - I'm happy to say - there are far too many to promote them all individually and so here is a complete list of all the events happening over just the next couple of weeks. Enjoy! And don't forget that we are always looking for reports on great gatherings for the magazine and elsewhere...

The International Naturist Federation, of which British Naturism is the UK member, celebrates 70 years of activity and representation of Naturists around the world in 2023 and this weekend an event is being held at CHM Montalivet (pictured) on the Atlantic coast of France.
There will be representation from a number of counties including the UK and around 120 delegates - or 'party-goers' - as there are some exciting social events to enjoy too!
Find out more about the INF and the celebration weekend here
The Autumn issue of our members' magazine is out now!
As always, it’s chock-full of news, information, listings and fully illustrated features and articles – and easier-to-read text.
Contents include:
All the events you can look forward to and a round-up of everything that’s been happening – including NKD and the Windermere weekend Naked Heart Walks – a resounding success Exciting plans for BN’s 60th anniversary! His Story: Mark and Ian on how Naturism has changed their lives Sports Round-up: All the latest on BN’s sports activities How Visible Are You?: Volunteers are helping to bring Naturism to the wider public In travel, we talk adventures in South East Asia – and much more. BN237 will soon be landing on the doormats of members of British Naturism who can also download a digital version. There's even a topic open for you to share your views with other members (log in required).
Our quarterly magazine is just one of the many benefits a BN membership provides. If you’re not a member yet, why not make today the day you join us?
Sorry everyone, it transpires that this date isn't possible for too many of our executive members and so, with the AGM happening only a few weeks late, this quarter's session won't take place.
The next quarterly Ask the Executive session will take place in December.
It's a chance for members to meet and ask questions of British Naturism's Executive Committee and hear from officers and other volunteer role holders.
It's open to all British Naturism members and is expected to last an hour. Questions for the Directors and Executive Committee members on any relevant subject will be welcome. To help us manage the session and to provide the best possible answers we would welcome questions in advance, and we will take these first. Subject to time constraints we will take questions on the night as well.

The International Naturist Federation conference in Bonn last March identified the misuse of the word "Naturist" as one of the key challenges to Naturism. We see the term "Naturist" used by some massage parlours, swinging establishments, and those who engage in outdoor sexual pursuits in an attempt to legitimise activities that are viewed negatively by many. While we pass no judgement on the consensual, lawful sexual choices and interactions of adults, misuse of the term "Naturist" has unwanted consequences. One example is the slight shift in position of the land owners around Sherwood forest who are being forced to be less welcoming towards Naturist hikers to deal with complaints about those who go there to indulge in sexual activity.
In this session we will discuss how we might face this challenge, in the hope of identifying new ways forward. I hope that as many of you as possible will join us for this debate.
To join the session on the night, please visit the BN shop
The Forum Live is a one of the benefits of membership - if you are not a member and would like to participate in this debate then please visit our membership page and join over 700 people who have joined us in 2023!
I'm proud of this one. Our subject matter means that it's not difficult for us to get attention paid to our activities and for us to be asked to comment on aspects of society and the stories of the day, and I deal with an average three or four approaches every week across the year. Our subject matter can also make people, authorities and big business nervous which hampers our progress somewhat with many obvious avenues to promotion closed to us. It was particularly pleasing, therefore to be asked by marketing and production company Mob Kitchen to help them make four films for You Tube for their client Stella Artois. We've all praised the Stella adverts on TV and in the press for their unfiltered lager and their willingness to be associated with naked people and were delighted that they wanted to continue the theme. 
We pitched in and found for them the majority of the people who would be involved and three out of the four locations - so much so that we get a mention in the films' descriptions on You Tube. Stella will be promoting it on social media and so please help by sharing the heck out of them on your accounts!
See the third film here - Cooking Au Naturel - Cycle (it's a good job I have a sense of humour...!) and check out parts 1 and 2: Cooking Au Naturel - Yoga - Cooking Au Naturel - Swim. Part 4 to come...
We like to bring you news stories of forthcoming events - it spreads the word, encourages more people to book and shows just how vibrant the Naturist scene is in the UK. However - I'm happy to say - there are far too many to promote them all individually and so here is a complete list of all the events happening over just the next couple of weeks. Enjoy! And don't forget that we are always looking for reports on great gatherings for the magazine and elsewhere...

August 24 - which to my mind should always be a hot, sunny day – dawned grey and cold. Nevertheless, my partner Dave and I were off to Barkby Beach in Prestatyn, North Wales, for an outing with the North Wales Naturist Society (NWNS). The things we nudies do to enjoy our chosen lifestyle!
A portion of the beach had been allocated to NWNS. Unlike many Naturist beaches, this one was fairly close to the carpark. I think most of us have experienced the usual miles-long trek past the clothed beach to the Naturist area.
Some 23 people – a nice mix of men, women and children – turned up. On the way to the spot, I encountered a guy who’d come over from Birmingham for the event. Another had come down from Scotland to stay at the NWNS camp in Halkyn. Dave and I ran into people we’d met elsewhere, and lots of interesting chats ensued.
About half of the group stripped off, and a handful waded into the sea. Call me a wimp, but it was just too cold for me to undress. Needless to say, there were no clothed people traipsing through our area as the whole beach was mostly deserted.
By the time we left in mid-afternoon, the sky over the water was a bright blue, the sun was shining – and I had a fleeting thought of stripping off.  But the sky over the land was its usual leaden grey, a cold wind was blowing - so I talked myself out of it!
What struck me most about the day was the warmth and acceptance Naturists radiate. No one cared that some of us didn’t undress. Everyone intermingled – or not, as they saw fit – and made the most of the weather. I’m preaching to the choir here, but I hope we all realise how welcoming and supportive our community is!
Next up for NWNS? A Naked Bike Ride in Llangollen. Read all about it here
