I would like to get a group together (nudist or serious wannabes) to rent our municipal swimming pool for a few hours one evening a week during the winter. #1 how would I get such a group together-I live in a town of 20 thousand.#2 how would I go about approaching the municipality to rent the pool to such a group? This idea seems difficult to accomplish,as I am not even a club member.I would appreciate any constructive suggestions or critisisms. P.S.I must be off my rocker to take on such a task at this late stage of my life-61 years young! |

Bob, I'd stay away from Craigslist. It tends to attract all the wrong kinds. On MeetUp, our group started with just a few, but it's grown exponentially. |

"Yes, a group of friends can just get together as a social group. However, if you want that group to be safer (under the umbrella of a national organization) and thrive with great positive marketing and public relations without fear from legalities..."
Hmmm, what kind of legalities could arise from a group of friends consensually getting together and hanging around nude?

Bob, what kinds of events are you offering? I think when ours first started, we had just a handful of people, and as of this writing we're at 40. We don't get that many at the average event, but everyone joins for their own reasons. How are you publicizing yourselves? Put your link on the various nudist sites where it will be seen.
Well, I put an ad on Craigs list. I put a link on Naked Wiki. And, of course Meetup has its own publicity policy.
We held some naked hikes and bike rides on public land during the summer. Now that the weather is cold we have nothing scheduled. A hot tub party in midwinter would be good too but not having a hot tub I'm dependent on some other member inviting the group.
Just looking now I see that Naked.wikia.com comes up with "unavailable." I wonder if its been censored or is just down for some reason.

I started a Meetup group too. We have only 6 members so far. Perhaps next year it will grow.

I think we need not a form but a map where we can put pins in saying where we are from if we want to disclose that. Admin...maybe an idea for the upgrade?

Yes, a group of friends can just get together as a social group. However, if you want that group to be safer (under the umbrella of a national organization) and thrive with great positive marketing and public relations without fear from legalities, you would do better to be a formal club with dues and such to pay for all the advertising, the phone, webpage, email, paper goods, food, etc.
My club is now in its 21st year.

In this thread, we have three posts from Melissa Starr, and one from Cheef. Well, as a followup, the Philly Nudes (Phi Nu) club was started two years ago this next week. These two have provided excellent ongoing leadership! So, it is possible to start and maintain a new non-landed group. |

Cheri:
Thanks for for your advice, and believe me when my wife and I went to our first party my wife was quite apprehensive, but in the years we have had not one incident, and it has been quite nice to gather with our friends and enjoy each other company.

Cookie, Be careful. I've had acquaintances attend a party that was not under the umbrella of a nudist organization and there was a problem.

We don't have a club as you would call it a club, but we have approx. 15 couples who enjoy getting together during the winter months. We take turns and have parties at each other homes.
As soon as the cool air hits the Northeast which is September we start making plans.
For instance in October we have an Halloween Party. Costumes are a must!
November we have a Pre Thanksgiving Party.
December needless to say everyone is pretty busy with family etc., so we have a New Years Eve Party.
February is Ground Hog Day.
March is all green "St. Patricks Day"!
April, we celebrate the beginning of Spring and looking forward to the warmth of the Summer.
Having these parties makes the Winter seem to pass by a little quicker.
We all take turns, and everyone will bring a pot luck dish. So the expense is kept down.
But yet we are able to enjoy be nude with our friends in the dead of Winter.
Super Bowl Party Today!!!!!!

We are in a non land based club in New Zealand, it is called Nudvan, we meet in places others are not able to get to. and also go to clothes free resorts.WE have a president, treasurer, secretary and a rule book which is loosely followed by its committee members.

Joby,
One of the keys to you getting somthing started would be to get a core group of people who might be interested. Even if it was just you and your wife.Then you could form a Yahoo group online called for lack of a better name "Buffalo Nudists" or the old name Cheri mentioned "Freinds of Buffalo". That would act as a clearing house and would be an easy way to find some like minded people in your area.
When everyone gets to know each other via the yahoo group, then hold your first "meet & greet" meeting and cobine it with an activity of some type. Just a thought!
Good Luck,
Gary |
