History
The first nudist club was at Wickford in Essex in 1924.
It existed from 1943 from a combination of sun clubs until 1964 when it merged with the Federation of British Sun Clubs (FBSC, which had split away in 1954) to form the Central Council of British Naturism (CCBN), later known just as BN or British Naturism.

Famous quotes containing the word history:

“I am not a literary man.... I am a man of science, and I am interested in that branch of Anthropology which deals with the history of human speech.”
—J.A.H. (James Augustus Henry)
“Books of natural history aim commonly to be hasty schedules, or inventories of God’s property, by some clerk. They do not in the least teach the divine view of nature, but the popular view, or rather the popular method of studying nature, and make haste to conduct the persevering pupil only into that dilemma where the professors always dwell.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
