New items on the web site

We are running an experiment with links to a photographic web site: DOMAI.

This is an affiliated web site, so if anyone signs up for their content from our link then we get a commission. If this goes well we will keep the link, if we get negative feedback then we will remove it.

We do this to keep the subscription costs of the magazine low, and to offset the web hosting costs.

We are sure we get some traffic to the site looking for this type of content, so we may as well send them somewhere when they can get it, and we all benefit as well.

DOMAI is a ‘nice’ website, the pictures are pleasant and would not look out of place in our own publication.

We have had good results from the ‘Nudist friends’ link, so we have high hopes for DOMAI.

Your thoughts would be appreciated.

Michael Pusey


We are saddened by the news that Michael Pusey has died. Michael was well known at Watford Swim and the evenings at St Albans.

My personal memories are sharing interesting conversations on the SOC walks where Michael’s humour and great knowledge kept me amused and informed.

He will be missed by those that knew him.

Our thoughts are with his family and friends.

Normal service will be resumed…

As soon as we catch up!

Suzanne and David have just returned from a 2 week ‘business’ trip to Fuerteventura.

Big pile of snail mail, dozens on emails all confounded by the Christmas mail clogging up our letterbox so we will be a while processing all of this and then business should return to normal.

Your patience is appreciated while we catch up.

Clothes optional petition to HM Government

The petition raised by D. Collins asking effectively that the UK has asimilar level of freedom to that enjoyed in Denmark is due to expireof the 27th December.  Some of you have already signed it but if youhave not and feel that the petition is worth supporting then the moresignatures the better.  I do appreciate that the person who wrote this petition may have done better had he used a spell checker first.

The wording is quite different to the “clothing optional” petitionwhich closed in August and received what can only be described as anunthinking rebuff from government.  This petition will likely besimilarly dismissed but they cannot reasonably say that it is a matterpurely for local authorities.   The Danes achieved their freedom bydirect protest back in the 1950’s and it may well be that in the UKand mainland Europe only more militant naturist action will changethings.

Top Sante magazine

Have just received the following request:

I’m hoping you can help me with a feature I’m working. Top Sante magazine is looking to shoot five women, aged 25-55, showing off the surprising naked bits their really proud of - women who are proud of their small chests, wobbly tummies, big bottoms. The aim of this line-up feature is to be empowering for women and to make our readers feel really positive and inspired. If you know any naturist women who’d be interested please don’t hesitate to get in touch (we’re on a tight deadline so it would be great to hear back from you today).
Best wishes
