    LASER AGM – What Happened

    By Guest, in London and South East,

    The London and South East Region Annual General Meeting was held on Sat 14th May via Zoom.
    This was the first meeting since 2019 as previous face-to-face meetings had been cancelled due to COVID. The online option for this year proved to be very popular with over 50 people registering.
    All AGMs are a bit formal as there is a vote to elect a new Committee. Viv Rimmer was elected as Chair and her position as Regional Representative to the Executive Committee was ratified. Nigel Newman was elected as Secretary and Colin Ratcliff was elected as Treasurer. An introduction was given to David Bellis as Beach Officer and steps are in hand to appoint a Newsletter editor.
    Invites were emailed to all the clubs in the region to attend. Two written reports were received, which were read out by the Secretary; one from Mill Bank Sun Club and the other from the Christian Naturist Fellowship.
    Following formal business, we stayed on online for a cordial chat and discussed options on how to move forward.
    The next meeting has been arranged for Sat 3rd Sept at 3pm which, on this occasion, will also be Zoom – see the LASER Calendar to register. This will be an interesting meeting with a catch up on what’s been happening and an invite to a presentation on how to arrange your own Naturist Event so that we can enjoy even more sessions in the our region.
    Nigel. LASER Secretary

    Well this years Gathering was a resounding success with 105 guests taking over the Waverley Castle Hotel in Melrose.
    The Friday kicked off with with a tea party sponsored by Paterson's Shortbread and our singer and comedian Robbie Carran getting the party going in fine style.
    The sun shone for us on the Saturday allowing everyone to get out in the hotel's back garden.  Was a wonderful sight of playing badminton, swing ball and archery as well as just relaxing in the sun.  Of course some hardy walkers headed off to naked walk in the surrounding hills.  The evening saw the highlight of the weekend, World Famous Burns in the Buff with excellent Burns Supper fare and was followed with ever popular Reelly Jiggered Ceilidh band who had us all reelly jiggers by the end of the evening!
    On the Sunday we paid a visit to the local Galashiels swimming pool where we received a great reception by the pool staff which was pleasant following the problems we had in getting a booking being naturists.  In the evening we had bingo and the popular horse racing.
    Throughout the weekend various activities took place including the infamous haggis hunt and very few of the haggis escaped.  With various raffles, horse races and auction of the hotel groups voucher for 2 nights dinner bed and breakfast for two in one of their 37 hotels you helped raised £503.15 for the local Margaret Kerr Palliative Care Unit.  A fantastic effort.
    Once again the hotel, the meals and the staff were brilliant, our thanks go out to them.  
    Of course without you the guests, the event would not have happened and the amazing help from all our volunteers and helpers too many to name making the event one of BN's highlights.
    Thanks Danny
