Subject: Swimming and Sauna venues in UK
Organization: CERN, European Laboratory for Particle Physics

 Here is the list of swimming and sauna sessions in the UK, reproduced
 (without permission) from "BN", the quarterly magazine of CCBN
 (the rather pompously titled Central Council for British Naturism).
 Their tel no is: 0604-20361.

  Membership of CCBN gets you an INF card (useful, though not always vital, for
  holidays in France) and a subscription to BN.
  BN carries this very good swimming list and occasionally interesting articles
  about naturist holidays, places to visit, peoples' own experiences etc.
  On the negative side you get very regular and parochial descriptions about
  how work is progressing on digging the foundations of such-and-such a club's
  new toilet block.

   I subscribe anyway.
