We didn\u2019t have a very sunny September but there are many of us soaking up the last rays of the season.<\/p>\n<p>At the pool, the new season has kicked off well. Everyone is happy to be at our very animated sessions and we\u2019re thrilled to welcome many new members into the family. The yoga classes are as popular as ever. Try to reserve your place before each Friday to avoid disappointment.<\/p>\n<p><strong>September events:<\/strong> September was a jam-packed month full of activity. Here\u2019s a short recap:<\/p>\n<p>The inauguration of the naturist area in the Vincennes Woods was one of the big events of the year, in the presence of Catherine Baratti-Elbaz, Mayor of the 12<sup>th<\/sup> arrondissement, P\u00e9n\u00e9lope Komit\u00e8s, councillor under the Mayor of Paris, in charge of green spaces and David Belliard of the group Europe Ecology &#8211; the Greens. We were a handful of naturists in the face of a flotilla of journalists.<\/p>\n<p>On Sunday September 3<sup>rd<\/sup>, we were over 300 at a picnic in the nude zone. We shared our dishes, played sport and Damien gave a yoga class on the grass.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you to our members who came to the 12<sup>th<\/sup> Arrondissement\u2019s Associations Forum on Saturday September 9<sup>th<\/sup>. In spite of the mixed weather, we handed out hundreds of flyers and are happy to have already seen some new faces at the pool.<\/p>\n<p>Our jazz evening on September 9<sup>th<\/sup> was terrific, between the talents of our two musicians &#8211; Stefano on saxophone and Duccio on guitar &#8211; and the culinary skills of our members and those of the Club Gymnique de France.<\/p>\n<p>Over the weekend of September 15<sup>th<\/sup> &#8211; 17<sup>th<\/sup>, the ANP and several other clubs supported APNEL (Association for the Promotion of Naturism in Liberty) on their stand at the Festival of Humanity, yet again an opportunity to talk about naturism with the public.<\/p>\n<p>On Tuesday September 19<sup>th<\/sup>, we visited the Club du Soleil de France at Aqua Saint Paul sauna in the Marais.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you to those who participated in the water polo tournament on Monday September 25<sup>th<\/sup>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>October outings:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>On Friday October 6<sup>th<\/sup>, a group of members are heading to Oc\u00e9ade in Brussels, followed the next day by a visit to a naturist spa during the day and the naturist pool in Halluin in the evening, with the club Originelle.<\/p>\n<p>On Sunday October 8<sup>th<\/sup>, a naturist event is to be organised in Paris but for the moment I don\u2019t have the address! I therefore request that you check our activities page and Facebook in a few days for more information.<\/p>\n<p>From October 20<sup>th<\/sup> &#8211; 22<sup>nd<\/sup>, twenty-three ANP members will be in Andalo in Italy for the International Naturist Swimming Gala.<\/p>\n<p>On Tuesday October 31<sup>st<\/sup>, once again with our friends from Originelle, a nude bowling tournament is organised in Belgium.<\/p>\n<p>On Sunday November 5<sup>th<\/sup>, we\u2019re organising for the second time a naked bingo afternoon at the Club Gymnique de France, with some fabulous prizes to be won (including a bike).<\/p>\n<p>And, finally, a naturist restaurant will be opening in Paris in October! Work hasn\u2019t quite finished yet, so the opening date remains to be set but the restaurateurs want the ANP at the inauguration. For this event too, I\u2019ll post the details on the events page of the site. If you would like to come, please send me a message, knowing that this will most probably be another highly press-covered event.<\/p>\n<p>You can register for these events by sending me an email, or at the welcome desk of the pool.
