5pm Friday to 5pm Sunday, 17-19 February 2012
The hotel will be closed on the Sunday night and so instead of the event concluding after breakfast, we can have activities into the late afternoon. As before, there will be a range of activities, trips out and evening entertainment – we’ll bring you full details as soon as we can. Already confirmed are nude visits to Blackpool's new Bierkeller and 10-pin bowling. If you have ideas, or would like to help, we’d love to hear from you. There will be the usual great Saturday night out at The Sandcastle, Blackpool’s waterpark, and the biggest in Europe – www.sandcastle-waterpark.co.uk.
Despite the time of year, it is definitely a naturist event – nudity is permitted throughout the hotel all weekend – “kit-off” time is 5pm on the Friday evening. The Bond Hotel (www.bondhotel.co.uk) is a 65-bedroom hotel in the heart of Blackpool, close to the Pleasure Beach theme park. It has a large lounge, bar area and dining room.
The event is open to all, though non-BN members will pay a premium, and there is a discount again for those that have been before. At this stage, bookings are being taken for the whole weekend – it is not possible to attend The Sandcastle only.
Room rates quoted are for a two-night stay which includes dinner, bed and breakfast, entertainment and entry to The Sandcastle.
The rooms were snapped up quickly last year and so the Bond’s sister hotel 4 miles away in Lytham St Anne’s was made available. It didn’t work well to have two locations and so for 2012 arrangements have been made for guests to stay in the nearby Premier Inn, a few minutes walk away. The same prices apply with those guests’ coming for meals and entertainment at the Bond Hotel.
There were also some grumbles about the single supplement charge to lone travellers…and so this year 16 rooms have been made available for single occupancy – so be quick! A couple of them are within “suites” with shared bathrooms, but private, lockable rooms. However, we’ll also be running the usual room-sharing scheme for anyone who misses out and wants to share a room and cut the cost. Please contact Head Office on 01604 620361. You’ll be asked for your name and membership number (if applicable) and credit card details. When you have been paired with another sharing scheme guest, a booking will be made by us on your behalf direct with the hotel and confirmed to you.
