Our friends Julie and Ines holidaying at L'Eglantiere in France feature on the cover pages of the December issue of gonatural
Many of us have experienced a variety of European naturist resorts. My photo at right was taken a couple of years ago at Haut Chandelar, a delightful family naturist campsite at 1000 metres in the Cote d’Azur. Its size and numbers in sharp contrast to the huge campsites in Austria and Croatia featured in James Ferguson’s article on his own observations and thoughts of the naturism scene in Europe.
President NZNF, Ken Mercer brings you a report on the INF-FNI Congress held at Pizzo Greco in Italy and Marty Braithwaite explores the paradox that nudity in Thailand presents.
SummerFest ‘10 kicked off gonatural week and the beginning of the summer season at Pineglades Naturist Club. Gordon McKay brings us a rolling photographic essay on the installation of The Orchard's new water tank, while Carole Stewart guides us to a local treat in the guise of Sutton Salt Lake, which, like the aforementioned tank, was also full of water. In the UK, Suzanne Piper visits Butterfly World - a wonderfully colourful new venue for naturism.
‘Gardening Guru’ June Campbell-Tong is another of the ‘gems’ who spend all their spare time tending the beautiful gardens at Wellington Naturists; Further north Col Basire joins the Bay of Plenty Naturists in the warm thermal waters of Oropi Hot Pools for ‘Magical Mondays’; While in Golden Bay, Peter Finlayson brings us news of the Annual Mens Nude Gathering at Autumn Farm.
Katikati Naturist Park was one of 34 tourism companies and individuals named as finalists in the 2010 Tourism Industry Awards. The holiday park was among the winners in the 2008 awards. This years finalists came from a variety of sectors and ranged from events like Wellington’s NZI Sevens tournament to the Christchurch Casino which eventually took out the Supreme award. We congratulate Joan and Kevin Sampson on their success and extend our gratitude for the way in which naturism in New Zealand continues to gain a positive spin-off from their innovative business excellence.
