As I reported earlier in the year about the troubled parent group - The future of Travelzest, a tour operator offering holidays ranging from naturist resorts to trips to Cuba and Morocco, is in doubt this weekend after the company failed to secure £2m pledged to it in a fundraising. A source close to the company claims that two shareholders withdrew an offer to inject fresh funds into the company after they tried to change the terms of the deal at the last minute.
AIM-listed Travelzest thought it had raised £5.7m through the issue of new shares, funds it needs to meet lending agreements with its banks. It announced on Friday morning to the stock exchange that investors had approved the share placing.
However, after the market closed in the afternoon, the company said that investors accounting for £2m of the new funds had failed to meet the deadline for paying the money, and that it would need to find an alternative means of securing the funds.
It will be a real shame if Peng are one of the companies to fall by the wayside this year !!!!!

Canada First Naturist Retreat To Close
Some naturist news from around - as reported in the Canadian press this week by this time next month, about 150 nudists will be cast out of the province's oldest naturist retreat because their 100 acres of Eden is being sold to a private owner. The several dozen nudists who live within Glen Echo's grounds on campsites got their eviction notices on Tuesday. The nudist movement in Ontario had its genesis with Glen Echo Park, which was founded in 1955 as a cooperative.
Most in the community got their first taste of naturism at the site, which is nestled along the Oak Ridges Moraine in King Township. In its mid-1990s heyday, as many as 350 families were members. But interest in the movement has sagged across the world in recent years. Glen Echo's owners, Mary and Edward Todorowsky, are approaching 80. Since 2005, they've been trying to sell to someone within the nudist community, who would keep their sanctuary open. But after fours years of trying and several failed offers, the Todorowskys gave up.
The property was sold for a rumoured $2 million. There are three other nudist resorts in and around the GTA – Four Seasons, Ponderosa and Bare Oaks, which is not far from Glen Echo.

Teesside Naturists
As reported in the local UK press recently A naturist club’s secretary believes nudist sites on two Teesside beaches would boost tourism by attracting the “buff pound” and give official status to sites already used for naked bathing. Three Rivers Outdoor club has made two separate applications to Redcar and Cleveland and Hartlepool Councils for two stretches of beach to be set aside for those who prefer their birthday suits to swimsuits.
John Thompson, secretary of Three Rivers Outdoor Club (TROC) for naturists believes nudist colonies in Redcar and Seaton Carew could help boost visitor numbers. He also believes nudist colony status would protect genuine naturists and members of the public from voyeurs and exhibitionists. John said: “We are looking for as many naturist beaches as we can get.
“There are 46 in the UK, mostly concentrated in the South and West coast and there is nothing for the population further up. It would be good for trade in Seaton Carew, Hartlepool and Redcar. It would attract the buff pound.” John believes the proposed nudist areas of North Gare, where the jetty goes out to meet the mouth of the Tees, and the beach adjacent to Seaton Carew Golf Club are secluded from the general public.

Spanish Naturists Kick Off
As reported widely in the Spanish press this week - a naturist group is poised to take legal action against El Ejido council after it banned baring all on its beaches. Naturist associaiton, La Asociación de Naturistas-Nudistas de Andalucía (ANNA) believes that the position taken by El Ejido council is “illegal” and “anti-constitutional” and is currently taking legal advice.
The ban was introduced last December as part of widespread council reforms despite the best efforts of group members. ANNA spokesman, Rafael Ortiz, revealed he wrote to town mayor, Juan Enciso, last summer while the bill was being drawn up, warning him of its illegality and of their intention to challenge it.
Ortiz cited a ruling from the High Court of Andalucia (TSJA) which proved “this current bill only serves to terrorise normal citizens because it has no legal foundation”.
Mayor Enciso has denied ANNA’s claims. He explained: “Nobody challenged this decision while the bill was being drawn up.” He said that nudism was not allowed in any El Ejido beaches and that no official requests had been made to allow the creation of one.

New Naturist Beach To Be Found In Suffolk
More local naturist news from around the UK. With only just a few wees left before one of Britain's oldest nudist beaches is closed, the search is on to find a suitable replacement spot up on the north Suffolk coast. The existing naturist beach at Corton, near Lowestoft, will become a general use area at the end of this summer season because coastal erosion has significantly reduced the amount of sand available for sunbathers.
Now Waveney District Council is speaking to local communities to try and find an alternative site for the naturists along the district's coastline, which stretches from Corton in the north, past Lowestoft to Southwold. In December last year, the council carried out a public consultation before deciding to go ahead with the plans to get rid of the naturist site, and said that they would explore other potential locations which are not as badly affected by erosion.
The new nudist beach would also have to have adequate parking and transport provision, good access to the beach, not be too overlooked and have support from the local community.
At least they have made a commitment to TRY and establish another area for the naturists.

Naked Ramblers Cause a Stir
As reported in the UK National press this week a group of naturist ramblers has sparked controversy by organising walks through popular beauty spots. Unsupecting dog walkers and horseriders encountered the group of 28 nude walkers on the South Downs Way above the Sussex village of South Harting. A lady who was out walking her dog, said: “The chap in the lead said ‘We’re a group of naturist walkers. Do you have any objection to naked bodies?’
A group out horse riding also encountered the ramblers where reported assaying “We thought it was quite funny galloping up from the back of Harting Down to come across this line of bare bottoms with rucksacks."
Martin Bullen, chairman of the Singles Outdoor Club, and a retired design engineer from Frome, Somerset, said “We hold 17 walks a year all over the south on mid-week days to reduce the probability of confronting the general public. It is not our intention to cause distress.”
A spokesman for British Naturism added: “We have many groups who like to get involved in walking. They have no wish to cause trouble and simple nudity is specifically not an offence under the 2003 Sexual Offences Act.”

Government to look at naturists’ claim for equality
As reported in the UK press today Harriet Harman is set to embrace yet another minority group who claim to be victims of discrimination – naturists. The Government Equalities Office, which is overseen by Labour’s deputy leader, is promoting claims that devotees of naturism and nudist campsites suffer prejudice equivalent to that experienced by gays, ethnic minorities and the elderly.
A submission written by British Naturism has been included in a review into discrimination. “Naturists encounter prejudice in employment,” it reads. “This is a particular problem for people in the caring professions and education. Any occupation requiring an enhanced Criminal Record Bureau check is potentially a serious problem.”
Naturism has spawned a thriving leisure industry referred to as “the buff pound”. As well as more than 100 naturist-friendly campsites across the UK, there are an array of luxury cruises where clothing is optional. In November Alton Towers, the Midlands theme park, will host its fourth “naturists only”
Wonder if the Government could make the weather a little more naturist friendly - lol ..

Skinny Dip '09 numbers announced
As reported in the World Press this week - The AANR (American Association for Nude Recreation) has announced that an inspiring 13,648 people participated in the baseline-setting skinny dipping record for the Guinness Book of World Records. As a wrap-up of Nude Week, 2009, naturist clubs across North America participated in this event on July 11 by encouraging their members and visitors to take a nude dip at exactly the same time.
Each resort then forwarded its count to AANR and the total was released on August 20. AANR resorts hope to beat their 2009 numbers next year in what will probably become an annual record-breaking attempt .
So, next year, even if you're not yet ready to "take the plunge" by visiting a nude resort, find a warm pool or a cool lake, shimmy out of your trunks, and become a nudist for a few minutes at least

Its Is Off For The Wyre Naturists
As reported earlier this week in the UK press the plug has been pulled on plans for the area's first naturist camping festival, due to have been held next month in the grounds of an historic Over Wyre hall. Former Blackpool North Tory MP Dr Harold Elletson of Parrox Hall, Preesall, had agreed to rent part of his 300 acres for the 'Nudefest' organised by British Naturism (BN).
But the event – scheduled for September 11 to 13 – failed to pull in enough people and has now been cancelled.
BN said that by the time the deadline for confirmed bookings for the Nudefest ended there had not been enough takers to make the event worthwhile. BN had said earlier this year they needed "a significant number of confirmed bookings" to ensure it went ahead. This week their spokesman Andrew Welch said the fact that the event was in mid-September could have made nudist campers worried about the possibility of cold or wet weather.
BN hoped scores of caravan and tent owning naturists would camp in the grounds of the old hall, which has been in the Elletson family for generations. They had also indicated local people were welcome to join BN and attend what they called a "unique gathering".
