I have to admit that I find naturist club proprietors very intriguing, I always wonder about their motivations. Alas they are an endangered species. There’s more than a little bit of envy in me as it’s been a lifelong ambition to found my own club.
That’s why I admire a man like Hugh Bentley who, at only 28 years old, made it happen. Not only that but it lasted 44 years. I wish had known him better. I do regret that he didn’t pass the club on into safe hands for future generations to enjoy. Instead he chose to take the money and run ignoring the contribution made by so many others over the years. Possibly that’s a harsh judgement, I’m sure he received assurances from the purchasers about the future of the club that he was foolish enough to believe.
