Contrary to what the title suggests, I do get to some events but not as many is i would prefer It can be sometimes difficult as a number of factors are at play when I think about joining one of these events., and its usually timing, money and location... Usually in that order. Life can often be a bit of a hurdle when it comes to these things especially if you are in a working family with kids, school, sports and other social get ups with non-nudist friends.
Timing
Often it is as simple as dates for events falling on the same day/night we are already doing something. This can not be helped however, sometimes it is a matter of not enough notice for the planned event and the event date. It is unfortunate as not everybody is as flexible with arrangements for a quick meet up or making a night out for dinner or some other kind of event.
Money
Unfortunately this is usually the deciding factor on weather most people go to an event. Often as venues need to be hired or booked out for the event the associated cost is usually a little on the steep side. This again can not be helped and makes it difficult for some to attend.
Location
This is a big one for me!! Often events are located a reasonable distance from where I live. Often the event organiser will plan the event and its location near to where they reside. This is fair enough however, something to consider would be the location of other nudists. Trying to set up events that are more centralised would potentially increase the chance of greater numbers attending. Now it is understandable that perhaps the venue in that area has offered to host the event and it has worked well for the organiser as they are locals.
It would be great to see more affordable events and more of them spread over a wider area of the city. So I guess all I can do is try and support the ones that are organised locally and hopefully regular affordable events will present closer to home.

I grew up in a Body Free family environment in Arizona on 20,000 acres. We were never card carrying 'nudist'. Never belong to any one resort/lodge/group. We had our own nudist friends and have plenty of room to roam, hike, swim, camping, climb mountains, visit nude beaches on family outings on our own time. We have been t nudist groups and found them lacking with their rules, etc., Though we always as a family enjoyed ourselves. On my own, I prefer being with other nudist 'friends' to do all sorts of outdoor events. I just returned from Mexico with 5 fellows nudists where we camped out naked the entire time. All I am saying, is basically, for me and my nudist Dad and brother we enjoy making our own nudist fun doing the above events.
I think all you spoke of is what also would hinder Dad and sons with setting up something that likely would be timed wrong, too far to get to, and or costs of renting a room for us.
Nudism to me is about total freedom to live without clothing of any kinds and for as long as is possible (without getting arrested - haha).
Keep up your good work with 'The Nudist Journey" reading/sharing through nudist blogs, newsletters is a good way to keep up and promote our nudists longings to be free.
