NAKED
Magazine is coming to town! The only magazine catering
specifically to gay nudists, NAKED is a high-quality colour glossy
monthly magazine featuring photos, encounter and adventure stories,
club news, and club listings, with lots more. Presented by TNT!MEN and
the Barn, NAKED is hosting an Oil Wrestling contest at the Barn, where
the first man to beat their wrestler wins passage on NAKED's upcoming
Cruise to Belize! Door prizes include subscriptions to the magazine
and copies of their new book called "Eye Candy", with copies of their
current issue available for you to take.
Planning Meeting: Tues 5
August, 7:30-10 pm
All men are welcome. We have all of our business meetings naked, so
even when they get bogged down in business, they are never completely dull!
Come share your ideas and help us make our decisions for the future.
Ever wondered whether your butt was legal? If your neighbour spies
on you through binoculars while you are doing your housework in the
nude, which of you will go to jail? If you are skinny-dipping in
Algonquin Park and Ranger Rick strolls up, what should you do? Come
join us at the 519 Church Street Community Centre to hear lawyer and
legal scholar Peter S strip the mystery away from the law.
Reception 7pm, Lecture 8pm, followed by panel discussion and question
and answer session. Admission $5 for TNT!MEN and FCN members, $7 non-members. (Or become a
member of TNT!MEN at the door for $15 and get in free!)
(Check on the online version.)
Naked Toronto Beach:
Sun 10 and 31 August, 1 pm+
There is a beach on the Toronto waterfront that is pretty easy to
get to and reasonably secluded. It's not well known, and we plan to
keep it that way, but if you would like to join us,
send us e-mail and we'll tell you how to get there.
Newsletter Meetings:
Tues 12 and 26 August, 8-10 pm
Everyone is welcome. No, really! You don't have to be a terrific
writer or artist or designer: we want your help anyway. The next
issue is probably to be out at the end of August.
Send me e-mail if you'd like to come.
Ronn and Don's Pool Party: Sat
16 August, 2 pm+
This annual event is always well-attended and a lot of fun. The
boys will be feeding us with their barbeque. It's BYOB, and you are
asked to bring two towels, once for drying off with, and another (dry)
one for sitting on. As always, bring a bag to keep your clothes in.
Admission is $5 for members (to help pay for the food), and $7 for
non-members. NOTE: only water-proof suntan lotion is welcome in and
around the pool. Last year the pool went into chemical shock for a
week!
A beautiful campground, tons of events, and over 800 naked men make
this the largest annual gathering of gay nudists. While it lacks the
great food, comfortable beds and intimacy of the IMEN gatherings, it
makes up for it in the higher level of excitement and plethora of
events. Check out my page on
last year's gathering for more info.

Naked Barbeque at the
Toolbox: Sat 23 August 1997,
5 pm+
TNT!MEN is hosting a naked all-you-can-eat
barbeque at the Toolbox, starting at 5pm. The outdoor patio with its
"romantic" garden will be naked only, and the weather will no doubt be
incredibly hot. Tickets are $8 in advance (from us at any
event, or directly from the Toolbox), and $10 at the door. (Same
price for members and non-members.) What a steal!
After the Beach Party at the Barn:
Sat 30 August, 4-8:30 pm
As usual, we are having a naked party at the Barn on the last
Saturday of the month. As part of the "After the Beach" theme, there
will be a daiquiri bar, and starting this month, the clothes-check
price is included in the entrance fee. Admission $3 for members, $5
for non-members. If you join TNT!MEN ($15 for a year), you get in
free!
GNI Gathering:
Sun 17 to 24 August
