Hello, I hope you all enjoyed our recent trip to Alton Towers as much as I did. I had a real blast and made new friends at every turn. My close friend Wayne couldn’t resist making an exhibition of himself in the children’s sandpit! He’s such a show off, and it took some  explaining to the security guards!! Anyway, this notice is just to let you know that we are now taking deposits for the next Beckworth & Slocombe Naturist’s Big Day Out, but hurry places are limited. On August 4th we’re off to London on the train and our schedule will kick-off with a tour of Westminster Cathedral (timed to coincide with the choristers hymnal practice). Then we’re planning the following: a spin on the Eye, lunch in Pizza Hut, a trip up the Shard to take in the sights, shopping in Oxford Street (or if you prefer a dip in the Trafalgar Square fountains), followed by dinner at the swanky KFC off Leicester Square. But the icing on the cake will surely be seeing Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (starring Johnny Depp) at Drury Lane. We’ve block booked the front row to get the best seats in the house, so everyone will get a good view. It’s a jam packed day and the all in cost, including sandwiches and soft drinks on the outward journey, is £699 including VAT. Contact me, Lionel, for details and I do hope members old and new can join us for this memorable trip. PS Suggestions of where to go for our annual naturist’s Christmas getaway gratefully received.
