January - A Day Without Bathing Suits (Sat 28, 2012)
Our southern hemisphere version of this international event - at a beach near you!
February - Skinny-Dipping Down a Moonbeam (Wed 8, 2012)
Just get a group friends together and go down to your beach - No togs, no sunscreen; but lots of fun! It will be a full moon, clear sky, warm sea and maybe a balmy breeze. What an ideal setting to enjoy naturism, with the great ivory globe creating a rippling silver path across the dark blue liquid silk of the sea, until it meets the golden sands.
Late February: Leigh Lodge (February 24-26, 2012)
FBNZ's Canterbury Region often have their first weekend in March at Leigh Lodge (also known as 'Journey's End'), in the Loburn North area, about 30 km northwest of Christchurch.
