		<title>Could you be a Donate-urist?</title>

		<description><![CDATA[As a membership organisation run by volunteers, BN relies on your subscriptions to be able to provide services to members and to do all our work in Campaigning for and promoting our wonderful world. As the National body, we also have a duty to represent – which often includes taking action – Naturists and Naturist groups who are not members. We work hard to raise funds by other means, such as sales in our shop and commissions from venues where our events are held, but...we could always do with more.&nbsp;&nbsp;Even our most expensive membership costs less than buying a pint of beer a month and many people comment that they’d be willing to pay more to ensure that BN and Naturism thrive and enable us to do all things that need doing. Our new website has made it easier for us to include a highly-visible “Donate” button on the front page and it only takes a couple of clicks to swell our resources.<br />
<br />
You don’t have to be giving away your life savings, small donations of £1, £5 and £10 are all very welcome and the more of us that donate – even the small amounts – the more our funds grow. Please make a contribution if you can. You can also make donations over the phone to Head Office by calling 01604 620361, or by sending a cheque.<br />
<br />
It’s not something that any of us like to think about, but you can also leave money to British Naturism in your will, passing on your passion and enabling future generations to get the enjoyment from Naturism that you have.&nbsp;&nbsp;Please contact Head Office for details of how to go about it.]]></description>

		<title>Our Three Year Plan</title>
		<link>https://www.bn.org.uk/articles.php/_/information/about-bn/our-three-year-plan-r32</link>
		<description><![CDATA[Within the EC, we've always had a pretty good idea of what we're doing and where we're going, but know that we don't often communicate it as well as we might. There are also loads of new ideas and challenges coming in all the time, and changes to the world outside naturism that we need to take account of.<br />
<br />
Therefore, over the two awaydays (the first was in September 09, and the second in February this year), we took the opportunity - without an agenda or the need for minutes etc. - to discuss only the future by gathering all the ideas and feedback we've had, looking at the parts of the organisation and its activities that need attention, blending in our own ideas, experience and expertise, assessing the changes and challenges we face, and have come up with the 3YP that articulates our aims, shows clearly what we need to be doing and how we intend to achieve results - for everyone. It will take work and we hope that many of you will be inspired to come and help.<br />
<br />
It's a very exciting step and we're looking forward to it. Here's to the future!<br />
