    Due to an enormous error by yours truly the date of the Houghton Lodge Garden Visit has had to be changed to TUESDAY 11 JUNE. I can only offer my apologies, I had asked for Wednesday 11th in error and the venue picked up on 11th and have us booked for TUESDAY 11 JUNE. They have another event on so can't accept any naturist visitors on Wednesday.
    I feel so stupid for not double-checking but as they say, it is what it is. If you know of any friends that were planning to come please make sure they are aware of the change.

    Walk your worries away

    By Guest, in London and South East,

    The weather is getting better by the day (sort of!!) and summer is here. And we are so lucky in the LASER region to have so many walks planned. I tried to think why walking in the country is so good for you and found this quote from the Woodland Trust and it sums it up perfectly:
    5 minutes walking in nature improves mood, self-esteem, and relaxation. Frequent exposure to nature reduces anxiety and depression, while promoting a sense of wellbeing and fulfillment. Physcial activity in a green space can reduce stress and lowers cortisol levels by 15%.
    What a wonderful description that is..... and of course walking naked adds to the feeling twice over.
    We have two walks coming up organised by Mike Ryan and here are the details.

    JULY 4TH Ashdown Forest
    This is an 18km walk in Ashdown Forest and through the beautiful West Sussex coutryside. The walk is fairly level with only some minor hills and no major climbs. The walk will meet at 11:00am in Ashdown Forest Meeting location: Millbrook East Car Park, Ashdown Forest   https://maps.app.goo.gl/D7Ftumn3DYqF6XXV8  What three words - specifies.caramel.snacks  Postcode TN22 3HW(It may also be possible to pick up people from East Grinstead train station, depending on numbers. Please contact Mike Ryan before-hand to confirm)
    Contact: Mike Ryan 07958 750139     Walk leader: Phil Harris 07711 640060
    AUGUST 8TH Markbeech
    We will be holding the next of the SE naturist walks in the Markbeech area on Thursday 8th August. (Markbeech is very roughly, halfway between Tunbridge Wells and East Grinstead)
    Meeting location: TBC Contact: Mike Ryan 07958 750139  Walk leader: Phil Harris 07711 640060

    If you haven't made a note in your diary then a reminder that Sophie and her team are looking forward to seeing us at the beautiful Houghton Lodge Gardens on the River Test next Wednesday. Full calendar details are here. No need to book, just turn up on the evening.
    For those who are coming, we look forward to seeing you there. A reminder that food will not be available on this occasion so why not bring your own picnic? Hot and cold drinks will be available.
    Sophie has advised: there are roadworks on the Stockbridge to Houghton road and also in Kings Somborne leading to sporadic road closures. The best way to get here on 11th June avoiding them:  If coming from the North (Stockbridge) then make your way to Broughton and approach us from the south and follow the garden signs. If coming from the south (Romsey) turn left before you get to Kings Somborne and follow the garden signs.

    The Brighton WNBR is this Sunday. Brighton's World Naked Bike Ride (WNBR) celebrates bikes, body power & low impact living while demonstrating our vulnerability & protesting against fossil fuels & car culture. 2024 ride: Sun 9th June, assembling from 12pm at Preston Park, Brighton.
    Many thinks this is the best of all the UK rides. It's quite big with usually 500 plus riders and is quite safe with an excellent police escort. It ends at the naturist beach and has a half hour break on the sea front.

The AfterShow is open to all fans of WNBR, Naked Cabaret, Phantom Peak and everyone else (over 18). Doors open at 18:00. The bar and food will be available. Warm up with some Life Drawing fun at 19:00, then the main show is at 20:00. (No admittance after 21:00.)
    The main show features Naked Cabaret‘s MCs Alexis and comedian Fella along with Lady Gloria, soulful burlesque singer Laura Loops, JJ – the Mad Chattaa, hula-hooper extraordinaire and Keri Gold the award-winning acro-balancer, as seen on Britain’s Got Talent. Expect nudity! After the show, we’ll keep the music playing, so get up and dance.

    We all love the outdoors and the sun but are so often let down with windy, rainy days in Summer. But there are alternatives!! East Sussex Naturists have organised a visit to the Bexhill Museum on June 18th at 6pm. We have attended a few museum visits with BN in the past (Haynes Motor Museum, Falmouth Maritime Museum and the Ipswich Museum) and they have all turned out to be super interesting. Bexhill seems to have some great attractions as well including two of the Eddie Izzard family's model railway collections.   Link to the Izzard model railway
    There's also the odd tale of Bexhill's finishing school for ladies from the Nazi elite!!
