Clothesfree, INF and young naturists

[genario]

Hi guys,

First of all..i want to say congrats for your 200th show and thanks for supporting naturism...I really love your site and news.

But, i have a doubt...

1 - If Clothesfree are AANR and TNS partner, both INF affiliates, why we don't see any news about world naturist events promoting by INF...like INF World Congress on Tambaba Beach.

I was there and missed that Clothesfree don't show or said nothing about it.... If you want, i can send photos and some information:

2 - Why you don't have a INF direct link on Clothesfree website?

3 - Another subject...Why we don't see more families and kids on Clothesfree shows?

4 - Please...check and update your links section...there are a lot non-naturist links there, some former AANR affiliates (Caliente Resort) and some porn stuff, like this one:

Cheers,

TNS is *not* an INF affiliate. The only INF affiliate in the United States is AANR.

Most North American nudists don't even know what the INF is.

If you are familiar with the INF Guide to Naturism? It is nearly impossible to find or purchase in the United States. AANR and TNS publish their own reference guides, and if you call AANR asking about it, they go = "Huh?"

If you want to get that guide, you have to call British Naturism for it.

Also, most North American nudists aren't all that familiar with clothesfree.com and this site.

One of the biggest events in the United States every year is the Eastern Naturist Gathering -- it is held in the same location every year, and clothesfree.com has never sent any reporters or done any video from that event.

Now - this is not to say that they don't WANT to do it, but budgets being what they are, and travel being costly, they generally stay on the west coast of the U.S.

Hey Genario from Brazil!

Nice to see someone from South America chiming in here. I was aware of the International Naturist Federation (INF) Congress recently being held in your country; I think that our national president of the Federation of Canadian Naturists (FCN), Karen Grant, represented our country there. Wish I could have visited myself!

I am hesitant to speak about why Clothesfree may not have been there, as I am not an employee, but I would think that this Internet company based in California does not have the financial resources to send its news crew to Brazil to cover the event. I 'm sure Corky Stanton, the owner of CFI, would be very happy to receive your photos and information. It is definitely relevant to the viewers of this website. I suggest you email him privately.

Another subject...Why we don't see more families and kids on Clothesfree shows?

From earlier discussions I have read here on the Forums, the legal counsel for CFI has banned any depictions (photos or video) of underage children on this website. I think there is a similar ban in United Kingdom naturist magazines.

check and update your links section...there are a lot non-naturist links there, some former AANR affiliates (Caliente Resort) and some porn stuff, like this one:

You're an astute observer, Genario!
Cheers from Canada,

Yep...will be my pleasure send some information and photos about it...what's Corky e-mail?

I know that clothesfree are made on USA to american nudists, it's awesome...but maybe you can talk more about world wide naturist events.

I find this interesting article:
http://www.cypresscoveresort.com/Newsletter/newsletter.htm

"I have been the AANR’s representative to the International Naturist Federation for several years, and for the past two years Barbara has been an elected board member on the INF’s Central Committee. These positions periodically take us to interesting locations we might never visit otherwise. Last month we were in northeastern Brazil at an INF congress. The meetings were held in a temporary structure adjacent to Tambaba Beach, a beautiful nude beach about one hundred kilometers north of Recife.

Each time we visit naturist locations outside of the U.S. I am impressed with the variety, and often the beauty, of these venues. One thing that varies little, however, is the sincere friendliness and charm of naturists all over the world. The next time you travel, especially outside the U.S. and Caribbean area, check out the INF website www.inf-fni.org, and see what might be available in the area of your visit. Then be sure to take along your AANR card, which is also your INF membership card, because in many places you can’t get in without it.

One particular occurrence at the congress was especially gratifying to Barbara and me. Several officials were up for reelection, including Barbara. The delegate for The Netherlands had been instructed, for reasons more to do with personalities than issues, to request a secret ballot for all positions, even where there was no opposition, and then to abstain. He did request secret ballots for the three Central Committee positions, president, treasurer and Barbara’s board position, none of which had opposition. Interestingly, however, when all the votes had been counted Barbara was the only candidate to receive 100% of the available votes. Later on, the Dutch delegate said that Barbara’s work and enthusiasm had impressed him, so he voted for her anyway."

That's one big reason to have a direct link to their site. www.inf-fni.org/
Even not so familiar with american nudists/naturists...INF are a world naturist reconized federation.

Just a suggestion for you guys.
