2009 Event Round-up
Winter Weekend – 27/03/09
The annual YBN winter weekend. This is planned to take place at Dilly Dally’s near Bournemouth, starting on 27 March. It is a lovely place with lots of facilities and is perfect for a YBN winter weekend. These annual weekends are an excellent opportunity for new members to meet with the group before the busy schedule of summer events starts.
INF Youth Rally – 20/05/09 to 24/05/09
It’s Italy’s turn again, with Club le Betulle near Turin hosting this event for naturist youth from around Europe from 20-24 May. The rally is for 14- to 27-year-olds and is an excellent fun event attracting hundreds of people from many different countries. I strongly recommend the event to everyone. It only costs 50 euros, which includes all meals, though not travel. Please contact Paul at swyouthrep@british-naturism.org.uk for more information.
Telford – 05/06/09 to 07/06/09
The biggest event of the year for 2008, so let’s see if we can make it even bigger for 2009. Great club, with even better bar prices! All the members are really welcoming, so this is a great event to start the year off with!
Nottingham- 19/06/09 to 21/06/06
As far as I am aware, this will be YBN's first event at Nottingham. It looks like a great club and it will be good to meet new people. This weekend also ties in with the volleyball tournament, so there will be plenty of people there, which should help with making it a great event!
Spielplatz – 03/07/09 to 05/07/09
The facilities at this club are great and they are very keen on having us there. They will put on good evening entertainment for us, and are willing to give us a good deal pricewise. Let's make this a great event with a good number of people turning up.
Avonvale and Splashdown - 10/07/09 to 12/07/09
YBN, working with BN and Naturist Events, are pleased to report that after the great success of last year’s event, Splashdown is happening again this year. Splashdown, the South’s ultimate waterpark, opens its doors for the second naturist evening. It is open to all ages and all regions, members and non-members. See here for further information.
The BN beach day will be on the 12th, so it would be great if there were a good turn-out for that, too, and to show BN how amazing our group is!
Springwood – 14/08/09 to 16/08/09
This is a great club in Colchester, with a really friendly group of people and party- goers. The club is keen to play miniten at any given chance, and has a heated outdoor pool and a nice clubhouse. I am sure that they will put on a great weekend for us and miss us dearly when we leave!
“It’s a Knockout” family rally- 29/08/09 to 31/08/09
The “It’s a Knockout” family rally at Manchester Sun and Air is evidence of how our relationships with clubs enable us to expand what YBN can do for youth naturism. With the support of MS&A this is going to be an excellent action-packed, fun-filled weekend. There are going to be plenty of games and activities for all ages, as well as evening entertainment including a talent show, prizes and a teddy-bears’ picnic for the younger ones. Make sure that you keep your August bank holiday clear for this event and tell all your friends. This event is one not to be missed.
The weekend costs £25 for adults and £15 for under-16s. In addition to all the entertainment, these prices include your food for Friday evening right through to Monday morning. This is excellent value for money at credit crunch-busting prices for an excellent weekend.
To book your place at the family rally, please phone the BN office (01604-620361). More information can be found here or can be requested by emailing youth@british-naturism.org.uk
The Naturist Foundation – 04/09/09 to 06/09/09
Volleyball...again! But this time the event will be organised by YBN, including the disco. The swimming-pool is a really big indoor heated one. They also have a new sauna, so come along for the last event of the year and let’s go out with a bang for 2009!
