EXPO UTRECHT 2012

 Important Information
Subsequent to our discussion during the EuNat meeting in Sweden, INF-FNI would like to organize the Utrecht Fair together with the federations. Unfortunately, the deadline for a reserving space at this fair is very short. Therefore, we are expecting your answer no later than on Monday, 27th of June.
Information: The fair will be held at Utrecht from the 10th to the 15th of January 2012. The costs for a place with 100 square meters will be 13’800.00€ and 7’150.00€ for one with 50 square meters. Extra services are not included in this price. These costs could be more favourable for all of you (and may be for your affiliated holiday centers too) if many federations would participate. Please be aware that the minimum required space is 6 square meters and that all extra services will be charged to the respective federations.
You will find further details concerning extra services in the attachment.
I would be glad to count on your active participation because I’m certain that there will be positive results for each participant.
Nice greetings,

Sieglinde Ivo
INF President

NFN CELEBRATES 50TH ANNIVERSARY

Dear colleague federation,
This year it is 50 years ago that the Naturist Federation of the Netherlands (NFN) was founded. In 1961 twelve naturist clubs decided that their shared interests could best be handled by a national federation. They proved to be right! Therefore in 2011 we celebrate our 50th birthday and we would be honoured if you celebrate that glorious moment with us.

On Friday 25 November and Saturday 26 November we invite you to join us for a cheerful meeting and festive evening. We would like to welcome you on Friday around 15:00 PM and hope you will stay till the morning of Saturday, after breakfast (11:00 AM). Of course we pay for your overnight stay. On Friday afternoon there will be a reception and after that we will wine and dine happily together. After a good night’s sleep and breakfast, our official program finishes at 11:00 am. Of course you are free to extend your stay yourself if desired.

The party will take place at Preston Palace in Almelo. This is a town in the eastern part of The Netherlands, a two hour’s drive from Schiphol Airport. Special about Preston Palace is the naturist swimming pool, that allows us to also relax a little bit in a naturist manner.

We offer your organization an overnight stay in a hotel room for 1 or 2 people (as desired). Due to our time limit we don’t need to know who’s going to join us right away. However, we’d appreciate it if you’d let us know as soon as possible if you accept our invitation, so that we will be able to make the final reservations with the hotel. Please send your confirmation to manager Henk Jan Kamerbeek (directie@nfn.nl).

Later this year we will inform you in more detail about the location and the program. We’d be glad if you’d join us and thank you in advance for letting us know if we can welcome you in November.
Yours sincerely,
Henk Smeeman
Chairman of the NFN Board

Chère fédération collègue,
Il y a 50 ans que la Fédération Naturiste Néerlandaise (la NFN) est fondée. En 1961 douze clubs naturistes se sont décidés qu’une fédération serait le meilleur instrument pour traiter leurs intérêts communs. Par conséquent nous célébrons notre 50me anniversaire et nous nous réjouissons à votre présence pendant cette occasion mémorable. 

Nous sommes très heureux à vous inviter le vendredi 25 Novembre et le samedi 26 Novembre pour une réunion joyeuse. Nous vous souhaiterons le bienvenu  le vendredi 25 novembre (à partir de 15h). Le vendredi après-midi il y aura une réception, suivi par un diner et une soirée festive. Enfin le matin du samedi 26 Novembre le petit déjeuner vous attend. Il va de soi que nous payons votre séjour (jusqu’à 11h). Vous êtes libre à prolonger votre séjour si vous désirez.

Les festivités auront lieu à Preston Palace à Almelo. La ville d’Almelo se trouve à l’est du pays à deux heures de l’aéroport Schiphol. L’hôtel Preston Palace offre une piscine naturiste exceptionnelle, de sorte que nous pourrions recréer naturellement nu un peu. C’est une des raisons pour choisir cet hôtel pour nos festivités.

Nous avons le plaisir d’offrir à votre organisation une chambre pour 1 ou 2 personne(s). Afin de réserver les chambres, merci de bien vouloir nous tenir informé de votre venu le plus vite possible. Nous serons heureux à apprendre plus tard qui sera(ont) le(s) représentant(s) de votre organisation. Veuillez envoyez votre affirmation au directeur Henk Jan Kamerbeek (directie@nfn.nl).

Nous vous informerons  plus tard dans l’année sur le programme définitif.

Merci d’avance de votre réponse rapide concernant votre venu.
Cordialement,
Henk Smeeman
Président du conseil de la NFN

Nudist Quotes

We Believe ...

We believe the human form is neither immoral nor inappropriate and endorse the culture of positive body acceptance. We protest the “pornification” of the human body. All parts of the body are just natural and should not be treated as anything that should be hidden. To hide body parts for the sole purpose of shame only causes people to have unhealthy or shameful thoughts about the nude body… Sadly, some people believe that the sight of an unclothed body is shocking and harmful and must be censored, yet murder and severed body parts aren’t censored at all. No wonder people grow up with a lack of body respect. The censoring of Greek or other culture’s statues or artwork is offensive to people all over the world. The purpose of female breasts is to feed babies. They are not obscene and shouldn’t be illegal to be seen in public. It is the same with any part of the body. Being nude is fun and good for the soul. It promotes body acceptance, age acceptance, family unity, freedom, and increased self confidence. Discover the stress-free adventure of nude recreation. Discover yourself! Say YES to naturist values. Say NO to the immoral disrespect of our bodies. Say NO to the media’s twisted thinking that bodies are shameful, disgusting, hair in the wrong places, and need to be plucked, tucked, stretched, starved and draped in cloth at all costs, and it DOES cost. Say NO to fake images and say YES to yourself and the wholesome body God gave you.
