Welcome to our Members Chalk Board! 

This is the spot where members chat about their plans to visit Naturi, to co-ordinate visits, to holler for some help, and generally get excited about our nudist community.

Remember – if you want to chat about an upcoming event – you can post comments about that event at the relevant story in the Events Section of this website.

So members… chat away!

PS Photos below capture some recent memories!

  1. Hi everyone!

    Gary and Cheryl and I will be going to Cobbler’s Beach at Middle Head this Sunday (15th December). We will be arriving at about 10.30, and aim to be there for most of the day. Any members keen to spend a day at one of the world’s very best nudist beaches is very welcome to join us!!!

  3. BUSH FIRE UPDATES: Hi everyone, I am sure we are all keeping an eye on the RFS website to see whether Naturi is safe from the current spate of bushfires. So far the news is good – notwithstanding all of the smoke, no fires have directly threatened the specific area around our Club.

    I have retrieved the Minutes Book and Sign In Book from the Clubhouse and am storing these at my place for the time being – I will bring them in for the next weekend.

    If you have any valuables stored at the Club, it would be sensible to retrieve these. We can discuss more specific plans at the next Club meeting, I will be suggesting we each take some items from the Club house and store them at home until the end of January – e.g. our historical collection of naturist magazines, the framed photos and plaques in honour of Heinz and Eike.

    Although the task of clearing away combustible materials from the site is likely a pretty hopeless effort, it would be good if we can do a bit of clearing immediately around the Clubhouse during the Christmas weekend.

    We can expect that there will be a total fire ban on the weekend of our Christmas party – I am not sure if this will impact on food preparations – Terry and Ann will no doubt have this in mind.

    Thanks everyone!

      1. Hi Lani and Rudi,

        Great to hear you might be coming to the Christmas weekend. I hope Rudi’s surgery goes well.

        The reason your first attempted post came up as new subscriber is that you spelled “Labi” rather than “Lani”, so it appeared to WordPress as a different person!

  6. Hi all, as I can’t make the meeting tomorrow, I will give a hard copy of the Westpac statement, which Debbie has provided an updated copy of today. With all of the payments for membership, the main Westpac account is looking a lot healthier, with a balance of $1,246.32. There is a second account that Debbie opened that earns a little bit of interest, and that has $984.29 in it. Additionally the petty cash box now has $430 plus loose change, which includes my membership fee. So the grand total of current Naturi funds is $2,660. Cheers! Rod

  8. Just a few reminders:

    *at our October meeting we decided to levy the 2019 members fee because our club funds are running low, and due to delays in the administration of the estate we expect to still be running the club for the full membership year (March to March). Please pay $70 per person for your 2019 membership online, or bring cash for this next time you are at the club.

    *Debbie has advised that our Westpac account is right down, so it’s very important that everyone is diligent in paying for vans and other fees – thanks for your help with this!

    Cheers!

    1. Rod we probably need a statement of the bank account for the meeting to discuss the balance to see why it is so low! We have had regular attendance by members throughout the year, with accommodation there should have been some money going in!

  23. Hi y’all! Just a few updates – as per the home page, at our recent meeting in March we decided to do 2 things in April – our usual meeting weekend on the first weekend in April, with the members meeting on Sunday 7th April at 11am, and then we have our Easter weekend running from 19-22 April, with a Pot Luck Dinner on Saturday 20th April at 7pm. Please post your comments here in this Chalkboard to discuss arrangements for the first weekend in April, but in the Events section for the Easter weekend!!

    PS there had been some discussion about potentially visiting Emu Nest next weekend – but at our last members meeting we decided to postpone that until we have a clearer idea about our future at our present location, so maybe later in the year…

  25. Hi everyone, Mick & Kath, who were at Naturi in January and who are longstanding friends of some of Naturi’s members have kindly invited all of us to stay over at their naturist place called Emu’s Nest, which you may have seen featured in TAN magazine. What they have proposed is that we come over on the weekend of 30-31 March. They are happy to charge us $30/head, which would include being able to stay in our own tents/trailers etc and they would feed us dinner on Saturday night and brekky on Sunday morning. I will be asking for an indication of who is interested at our gathering this weekend so that Mick and Kath have an idea of who is likely to come. We can discuss in greater detail this weekend, and/or email me privately if you want to know more. Cheers! Rod

    yesterday and thank them all for the beautiful bunch of flowers. They
    smell so good! Also thanks for the pat on the back for Eric…

    1. I want to say how comforted I was to have so many Naturi members join with Heinz’s family and our many friends on Saturday. He was such a special man, kind, humble, caring, reliable, always ready to help others, asking nothing in return. It was a lovely day of friendship and from comments received, it was successful in that everyone could share their various happy memories of Heinz. This was a great comfort to all of us in our grief, and he will certainly not be forgotten by so many.

      I would like to thank Rod and all Naturi friends for the beautiful bouquet of flowers, their colour and perfume give me great joy still.
      Wishing the club every success in wherever the future takes them. For myself, it has been a pleasure to get to know you all and for the great way you welcomed me (even though I was not in uniform). Wishing you well, fond regards Pam Morgan Jones.

      1. H Pam, thanks so much for your lovely words, both here on our website, but also at the family gathering last weekend. It was a very moving occasion, and lots of wonderful memories as well as some surprises – things I never knew about Heinz! We hope to stay in touch with you, and you are always very welcome, in or out of uniform!!! Love Rod x

  27. Thanks to all of the Naturi members who came to the memorial lunch for Heinz today. The family was blown away by how many people came, from so many groups that Heinz was a member of – the Wagner group, the philosophist group, the German group, the bushwalking group, and of course Naturi, along with family, neighbours etc. Many heartwarming stories were shared, it is incredible what you learn about a person after they have passed away. The common thread was just how much everyone respected Heinz as a gentle and wise man with a heart of gold. Rest in peace dear Heinz. x

      1. Hi Nitin – the event yesterday was organised by Heinz’s children and was open to everyone – lots of locals and friends of Heinz from various community groups he was associated with. The event that Naturi is holding on 9th March is the dinner, which Maree is coming to, so all good – don’t fret! Looking forward to seeing you and Sue!

      See y’all up there at 1pm!

  29. It is good to see that some of us can come to the memorial lunch on 23rd Feb. I see no problem with people staying over at the Club over that weekend. Maree expects the lunch will be over by 3pm – so my one request is that we avoid any vehicular traffic along the driveway in front of Heinz’s house during the event, until perhaps 3.30pm to be safe.

  33. Hi everyone! A couple of updates…. the memorial lunch with Heinz’s family will be held on Saturday 23rd February at 1pm. Members of Naturi are welcome to come along. I will be there, and I sincerely hope there can be a large turnout from the Naturi group to show the family how much Heinz was loved by us.

    Also, Maree and her boyfriend Ian have accepted our invitation to dinner at the Club on 9th March, but unfortunately Eric cannot make it. I confirm therefore that this will be a clothed event, and I would ask members to dress no later than 5pm, well before their arrival. I will keep you updated when I get other RSVPs.

Just one thing – Terry now handles the bookings of vans – so I will ask Terry to be in touch to work out what is possible there. Cheers, Rod

Hi Rod just wanted to get your thoughts on staying over on this weekend , would the family and friends be ok with us towing vans ect up to site or should we be a bit more conservative perhaps , waiting on your guidance as have had a request for van booking from Lani & Rudi , also what do other members think ?
