A few details:
http://www.nudeday.co.nz/about.htm

The champion for nudism in NZ is a rugby player Marc Ellis. I haven't been involved in it yet, and may if I can get myself organised.

They specifically run a video competition to see who can make the most daring nude video. Overall it is meant for fun:

If there are any Auckland nudists who are interested in doing something, drop me a message.

Really? How is that so?
I think those involved are making nudity fun, and are not doing it out of any intention other than having fun. How is riding on a rodeo bull naked exhibitionism?

Such larks by 'mainstream' guys and girls only normalises social nudism, and removes the taboo in my opinion.

(alteration: "social nudism" should be "social nudity" - I don't think they represent a nudist lifestyle, but I do believe they show people conquering their fear of nudity in front of their peers)

on the offical nude day site, i read this and had a good laugh

What’s the master plan?
One day we’d like to see the whole world nude together on the same day, well maybe not the English, but pretty much everyone else. Just joking, we’d love to see the English naked too, that’d be funny, they glow in the nude.

Exellent idea to every country. I hope the Kiwis do not have any copyright to it.

The Sportscafe.Very naturist friendly.A couple of years ago they had the sports co-ordinator of our National Nudist federation live on T.V. completely nude.It is filmed in front of a live audience.
Just last year they had a high profile N.Z model assissting with hosting the program,and when asked if she would have a spa in the nude,she replied,of course,my family are naturists.
Sportscafe,Marc Ellis and National Nude Day.Excellent!!

Which model was that? A few weeks ago even the audience had many nude members~ (in the lead up to nude day of course).

Marc Ellis apparently has been nude on the show no fewer than 8 times, although never while I have been watching. As dodgy as the man is, he is good value.

Must be nice here in California, we are getting ready for cold weather here. Enjoy the weather in that part of the area.

The weather here is warming up nicely (although with a few bad patches here and there). I have had the chance to do my study in the garden under the sun~

Still will need a little more warming to do before I hit the beaches though~

Well, it is generally a non-nudist programme so generally the audience is clothed, but on the occasion of the episode prior to Nude Day. One vocal group of the audience were indeed nude.
