Lee Baxandall (1935-2008)
The Naturist Society has announced with profound sadness that its founder, Lee Baxandall, has died in Oshkosh, Wisconsin. Baxandall, who had suffered from Parkinson's Disease, was 73 years old at the time of his death on November 27, 2008. Baxandall began his work as a naturist activist more than 30 years ago. With a background in writing and publishing, Lee's naturist passion led him in 1976 to form the Free Beaches Documentation Center, which he located in his hometown of Oshkosh. By 1980, Lee had founded The Naturist Society (TNS), and TNS had presented its first Gathering for naturists. 'Clothed ...
The Hot Tub is BACK!
The hot tub is now operational again. Hopefully, it will keep working for a while longer. We had hoped to replace the tub with a newer and larger one.

Nipples on TV
Of all of society's irrational and arbitrary attitudes towards the human body, breasts and nipples are the ones that feature the most contradictions. The ongoing fight for a woman's right to breastfeed her baby in public illustrates the contradictory view of breasts as both sex objects and sources of nutrition and nurturing for babies. The main argument seems to be that breasts are sexual. The truth is that people are sexual. While men may find the female breast sexy, it is certainly not women's exclusive source of sexuality. Conversely, women may find men's chests sexual but men are not forced ...
Discussion Forums!
We are pleased to announce the launch of the Bare Oaks discussion forums. Think of it as a cyber-hot tub. Now, members can communicate with each other securely even when they are not at the park. It's a convenient way to discuss issues and make plans. The forums also include the option to post anonymous questions or comments for Bare Oaks management to answer.

Announcements!
Members' Meeting All members are invited to come and get an update on what's happening at Bare Oaks Family Naturist Park and ask questions. Don't rely on the rumour mill. Get the facts directly from the source. This year we're making it a lunch-time meeting so we'll have food and drink available. (Yes, there is such a thing as a free lunch!) In order to maintain order, Heather will moderate the meeting questions and answers. Ken had suggested this (and volunteered to do it) but could not attend. It's a great suggestion and Heather has volunteered to be the moderator ...
