New Zealand nudist club holds open days

Well as the U.S. leaves Fall and heads on into Winter where most nudist clubs and nudists hibernate, it is Spring in sunny New Zealand!  The nudists there are taking advantage of the warmer days to get the word out about nudism.  Andrew and Sharlene Valk, who run Rotura Naturally nudist park opened it to the general public for a couple days this past weekend.  According to Mr. Valk the event was a grand success.  As a result, they are planning even more community outreach programs.  There's nothing like removing the wall of secrecy and wild guesses by the public as to what goes on at our nudist clubs.

New Zealand Court upholds nude jogging

In a case that's run for over a year, the High Court of New Zealand has overruled the conviction of Andrew Lyall Pointon for jogging nude in a remote forest. Based upon the complaint of one woman who saw him jogging nude in Oropi Bike Park he was arrested and convicted of offensive behavior.  The High Court, however, agreed that simple nudity is NOT offensive behavior.  Someone should explain that to the folks in Scotland or even the U.S. for that matter.  Kudos to New Zealand for a sane approach to simple nudity.

Naked Rambler continues his fight

Stephen Gough, aka the "Naked Rambler", has now spent years behind bars for the horrible crime against humanity of walking nude in Scotland.  To date, no one who has seen him walking nude has complained, that is, other than the police.  All they would have to do would be to release him and let him walk back to England but no, the idiots in the court system and government have to break him to save face.  Mr. Gough is now considering taking his case to European Court of Human Rights.  Let us hope he can receive some justice there since there is no justice in Scotland.

British Naturists take on the BBC

Well British Naturism (BN), the UK's voice for naturists, is taking the BBC and producer Andrew Marr to task for its historically inaccurate portrayal of various civilizations in its History of the World series.  Marr is rather like our PBS star, Ken Burns.  He depicted Caribs, Australian Aborigines, and other tribes as clothed when, in fact, they wore no clothes during their time.  The BBC's response was that they wanted to target the widest possible audience and offend no one so they designed costumes for the reenactors to wear.  Note: The BBC doesn't have the same restrictions as U.S. television networks regarding nudity.  They are able to and have broadcast shows with nudity in them.

San Francisco nudists continue fight for freedom

San Francisco nudists are not going to go quietly into the night apparently.  San Francisco, one of the most tolerant cities in the nation, is trying to "normalize" itself by banning public nudity and thereby coming into conformity with the rest of our prudish, puritan nation.  My best wishes to those nudists who are willing to fight for their freedom to be nude.

Kiwi Naturists' Story

Here's a change to the usual naturist story.  The woman is the naturist and convinces her partner to join the lifestyle.  Kay Hannam and partner Brian Williams began by hiking (known as tramping down under) nude together and eventually they went on to found their successful nudist park: Wai-natur in New Zealand.

Nudist runs for honorary mayor of Land O'Lakes

Well the political season is upon us full force.  With more hot air generated from all sides this election, it's refreshing to see a light-hearted race.  In Land O'Lakes, which is in Pasco County, Fl., nudist Pam Oakes is running for the position of Honorary Mayor.  It is very appropriate too since Land O' Lakes hosts several nudist resorts and Pasco County itself has more nudist resorts and clubs then any other county in the U.S.  She is running on a platform of international tourism which is always good for the economy.  Our hats (and everything else) are off to her.  Good luck in the race.
