The whats up, reflections and looking forward to thew coming months as the winter thaws and spring means more sun and more NDST events.   By the time you see this you will likely have noticed that the YouTube channel has been terminated by YouTube.  The termination is without merit, and highlights how easy it is to spend hundreds of hours putting together media, getting to the point of monetization, only to have the rug pulled put from under you as Hosting Sites look like they will be soon paying you for the work you have done.   So much for the thousands of people that we have directed to the channel through various different websites. Thanks again for nothing Youtube!

00:00Hi everyone. Wow! We have made it to one of our first YouTube milestones with over 500

00:16subscribers and over 100,000 views for our videos. That is so cool. We would like to

00:23take this opportunity to thank you for your support. We couldn't have made it this far

00:27without you behind us. The past year has been a bit of a busy one with events like

00:32the 20th Annual New Zealand World Naked Bike Ride, which included many events throughout

00:37the weekend, including the Naked Lunch at the Muscle Inn and the Post Ride Get Together

00:42for a Lunch and some Liquor Testing at Kiwi Spirit Distillery, not to mention the fun

00:47we had at the BBQ at Autumn Farm. Those South Islanders put on a fantastic weekend. I hope

00:54I can get there next year to bring you the event again. It will depend on the costs and

00:58time availability. Two weeks later, we were in Waihe Beach in the North Island Ride, riding

01:05again around the town with little or nothing on, such a pleasant experience and so many

01:09awesome people to share it with, coming from all over the North Island. We were sorry that

01:15we couldn't bring you the Midwinter Dip this year, but the event was held at Katikati

01:19Naturist Park. Campground and rules prohibiting the use of phones and cameras in the pool

01:24area left us out in the cold, so to speak. We hope to rectify this next year as the tides

01:30are better to be able to return to the beach. We will keep you posted. We may even have

01:36the opportunity to broadcast this live to our subscribers. Again, this may be determined

01:41by costs. This year we also attended Kiwi Burn, a festival near Hunterville in the lower

01:47part of the North Island. The festival was amazing, and a number of our group were naked

01:52for the largest portion of the camp, with one of our members not wearing any clothes

01:57for the entire festival. Sir Steelballs was knighted in a ceremony recognizing his fortitude

02:03to weather the cool night air whilst sticking to his naked-as-he-was-born ethos. So lots

02:09of goings-on and so much to see and do next year. Big thanks to Rocker, Boris, and Mr.

02:15Badger for your continuing work to promote freedom and body positivity, and to everyone

02:21that has tuned in, subscribed, and liked our videos. You are awesome. You are the reason

02:26we do this. Stay naked love, Alicia.
