    I'm negotiating at the moment to hold a naked theatre night at the Vaults in Waterloo, London. We have been there twice in the past and it's been very successful. This one is a comedy based on Pride and Prejudice. Apparently the cast of the show are up for it (they loved it the last time we had a clothes optional night there). What I need to know now is how many people would be interested? 
    They are selling tickets at £19 but that might need adjusting if I can't guarantee a full house. The show would be some time in the next two months... please let me know below if it's a strong possibility for you.

    I've been in touch with the Village Pottery near Twickenham today and we can have two pottery lessons for 12 people at a time. It would be on a Sunday afternoon sometime between May 20th and June 20th. The idea is that there will be a 40 minute gap between sessions so the first group can socialise with the second one. It's a case of bring your own refreshments. Julie the owner and tutor has already had one naturist group as can be seen 27 minutes into the great film linked below. Tickets will go in sale as soon as I'm confident we can sell enough at £35 each. Could you please comment below if you're really interested.. with no obligation at this point. There is a nearby railway station (1 mile). Patti and myself will be going so that leaves 22 tickets... or just 10 if we can only get enough for one session.

    Good news from Shaftesbury Lido for the 2025 summer season.  The plan is to have weekly swims every Tuesday evening once the season begins.  In 2023 the Lido had a Naked Swim once a month; in 2024 it increased to two sessions a month and in 2025, following many requests from our naturist swimmers, it will be a weekly session.
    The season opening, however, depends on vital improvements to the pool being completed in the coming months.  Whilst Shaftesbury Council have agreed to the new filtration system and new pool liner being installed to keep the Lido running, they would like some outside funding to help with the huge costs. 
    The Friends of Shaftesbury Swimming, of which I am a committee member, have organised a Crowdfunding appeal to try and raise £15,000 to match a promised £15,000 from Sport England.  We have less than a month to raise that total but got off to a great start yesterday with a fund-raising cold-water swimming event at the Lido.
    Details of their Crowdfunding page are here https://www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/shaftesbury-lido-renovations  If any of the Lido's regular naturist swimmers feel they could support the appeal, we would be extremely grateful for their help, either with a contribution or sharing the link to others who might be able to give support. 
    One point to note if anyone is making a pledge on the Crowdfunder page - the suggested "tip" to the Crowdfunder organisation is voluntary.  If you use the "enter custom amount" button rather accepting the suggested 20%, you can set it at whatever level you wish, including 0%.  
    Thank you for your help in sharing the Lido message with the wider BN community, both in the South-West Region and beyond as a good number of our regular naturist swimmers travel to the Lido from outside the region.

    Come and join me on the evening on Saturday 28th June 2025 for a Naked Cruise around Poole Harbour and beyond right in the heart of Dorset?  This is a fantastic opportunity to climb aboard MV Solent Scene at Poole Quay then sit back and enjoy the beautiful scenery of the Dorset Riviera as you cruise around Brownsea Island, past Sandbanks and Old Harry Rocks then along the Jurassic coast towards Swanage, returning past Millionaire’s Row before arriving back at Poole Quay. 
    Solent Scene has two separate internal saloons, incorporating the bar and quiet lounge on the lower deck and the disco and dancefloor on the upper deck. In addition to this, she also has two large outside decks.  The on-board bar will be open throughout the trip so you can purchase drinks for cash or card payment.  A fish and chips supper will be available as an optional extra which you can book when purchasing your ticket.
    Boarding the vessel will be from Poole Quay at 18.45 hrs with departure at 19.00 hrs and return will be by 22.00 hrs.  You must be dressed to embark and debark the vessel but you will be able to undress after departure and remain naked until just before mooring at the end of the cruise.  This is an adult only cruise.  Several pay car parks are available within easy walking distance of the quayside but beware, there is very little free roadside parking nearby.
    Please contact me if you need additional information, have a dietary requirement, or have a question to ask.
