BN 224 Summer 2020

BN 224 Summer 2020
Thanks to everyone who sent in their ‘lockdown’ images for our Summer 2020 issue. We’ve put together a big feature and crammed in as many as we can. So many of you told us it was a goal of yours to be pictured in BN magazine - glad to oblige! There are a large number of terrific features this time - covering the Solstice, discovering Naturism and BN, taking family to events and on holiday, Naturism as the solution to body-confidence, the legality of sunbathing in the garden, naked walking and more. President Mark Bass reports on BN’s acquisition of the Sunfolk site and lays out some of our plans, and also tells us about his TV appearance - naked on the sofa. We also introduce our new Vice Chairman, Jon Williams and you’ll find details of forthcoming events (cross your fingers that they can happen…)
Our travel section is different this time as our usual crop of holiday reports didn’t materialise (no surprise) and so we’ve brought you a variety of pieces.
As usual, there’s loads of interesting news from the nude and not-so-nude world and our Directory provides details and contact information for clubs, swims, other venues and our key people.
