Polar plunge

Twenty or so hardy (or foolhardy) souls celebrated the winter solstice at Katikati Naturist park on 25th June. Following a plunge in the 12 degree main pool, the sauna and spa pools were well used to warm up again. This was helped by a tot or two of warming port. This was a great social event on the BOP Naturists calendar in the middle of winter.

Another successful night at Oropi hot pools

Once again, over 40 naturists, who are members of BOP Naturists, spent a great night in June, soaking in the hot pools at Oropi. The best thing about this regular event is that we can also have a meal between soaking and socialising in the pools. The owner had the fire on so it was warm inside and out. Even so, a large group enjoyed their meal outside under the verandah. Another plus is that we don't have to get dressed for dinner!

CCS hot pool night and chinese smorgasbord

The recent evening at the CCS hot pool and the dinner afterwards at Chinatown was a great night, with seventeen locals joining seven from out of town who have not been to an event for a while. Thanks to those who travelled from a distance to attend. I think all who came enjoyed themselves. I know that whenever I leave Chinatown, I feel like I don’t want to eat ever again – until the next day!
