    Not a BN event but many members take part in what’s probably the largest UK skinny dip and definitely a worthy, charitable cause.
    Video link to why 29th Sep this year
    Note from the organiser on her Facebook page: 
    *IMPORTANT - NESD2024 – POSTPONED*
    Druridge Bay has been experiencing much higher tides over recent years. Higher perhaps than ever before. Last week during an exceptionally high spring tide I took a trip up to see for myself. Many of the dunes had been washed away and even some of the fields were being threatened by the tides. It was indeed remarkable.
    A similarly high tide height is predicted for 22nd September making a mass dip both impractical and entirely unsafe. After consulting the experts on the matter I have taken the difficult decision of POSTPONING NESD2024 UNTIL SUNDAY 29TH SEPTEMBER.
    I feel sad that we can no longer dip on the Autumn Equinox as planned but Mother Nature calls the shots. And we must adjust accordingly. My decision has been fully endorsed by water safety experts, Northumberland County Council and Tyneside and Northumberland Mind.
    The tide will remain high for the entire month of September and we may need to modify some aspects of the event in 2024. Rest assured that retaining the unique atmosphere is paramount and we will do everything we can to bring all the ingredients of NESD that you know and love. I promise to keep you all updated and press on with registration at the earliest opportunity. Although there will undoubtedly be some delays.  Please do bear with me.
    My sincere apologies. This specific set of environmental factors were beyond my control and could not have been foreseen.
    Thank you all ways for your understanding and support of our wonderful event 🙏🏼

    With so many naturist events in the SANER region, it can be easy to miss activities that you would otherwise love to go to.  
    To solve this problem we have created the new SANER 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 SANER Events Listing Board is just one more reason to join BN today!

    Getting Ready for the Warmer Weather

    By Guest, in Eastern,

    Plans are taking shape for 2024 activities in Eastern Region. A popular naturist club near Colchester (www.SpringwoodSunClub.co.uk) will be opening their gates for the BN Eastern Region Spring Conference in April. One of the topics for the day will be how to arrange a new naturist group event, starting with the basics like identifying a suitable venue. Other topics will cover naturist events already a long way into the planning phase but not yet advertised, and there will be a summary our regular activities like naturist swims and walks, as well as updates from some of the many naturist clubs based in our area. This is one of the benefits of being a member of BN, you discover there is far more going on than you might think. If you are already a BN member living in Eastern Region then be sure to reserve your place at our spring get-together - see previous entry for details of how to book. .

    Fancy a day visit to the island of Steep Holm on the 9 July? Steep Holm is a small island in the Bristol Channel and lies offshore from Cardiff and Weston-Super-Mare and although relatively close to areas of high population and a busy shipping channel, Steep Holm is isolated and has a fascinating history and lots of natural splendour. Access is via small boat and ribs are leaving Cardiff at 07:30 and Weston Super Mare at 08:30. Due to tidal movement it’s a full day on the island and the Ribs will be returning at approximately 20:00. Full details are in the Regional Diary

There will be a fish & chip supper, welly wanging, cream tea and boules match and a campfire evening” Lower Poulza has great facilities and Jacki reminds me that if you wish to attend you will need to send her a booking form and deposit.

    Court Farm Lakes near Lydney

    By Guest, in South West,

    Court Farm Lakes offer swimming sessions and events, open water swim coaching, SUP, yoga and fitness on their beautifully maintained 4 acre site, situated just off the A48 in Woolaston, Gloucestershire.
    Their onsite Cafe is a warm and cosy place to relax and chat.
    During the summer months they offer social evenings with live music and food.
    But why am I telling you this?
    It is because they hold daily Clothes Optional swims!
    Please have a look at their website and book yourself a place.
    Update 5th April 2024:
    I visited Court Farm Lakes today to meet with one of the team who runs it and managed a lovely skinny dip. I can confirm the surroundings and views are lovely and the food in the Cafe is great. I would recommend this site for a great Clothes Optional swim.
    Don't forget that they are also holding a Great British Skinny Dip in aid of the British Heart Foundation on Friday 10th May 2024 from 5pm to 9pm. More details can be found here!
    Update 28th June 2024:
    Court Farm Lakes is holding another Skinny Dip evening on Friday 5th July.
    More details can be found here!

    Plymouth Sun Club Monthly swim

    By Guest, in South West,

    Plymouth Sun Club holds monthly Monday swims in Plympton Pool on the outskirts of Plymouth.  Until now the club as met twice a month, but because of rising costs and lower than expected attendance last year, the 2024 schedule has been reduced to once a month, see calendar details here https://www.bn.org.uk/events/event/8244-plymouth-sun-club/ 
    Your support for the club will be appreciated, this is one of the few swims where no advance booking is required, just turn up, bring some ID and £7 cash for visitors and spend an enjoyable hour swimming or socialising before perhaps continuing those friendships in the nearby pub afterwards.
