Single males or females, couples and families are all welcome.
We are a national naturist organisation with a difference: low membership fees but the ability to offer visits to clubs up and down the length of the UK, and also the chance to walk in the countryside as nature intended.
Make the Singles' Outdoor Club your club this year. You have nothing to lose and maybe a lot to gain.
Our AGM is always held at a naturist site, and all members are welcome to attend.
Anyone may apply to join us - although we are called the 'Singles' Outdoor Club we welcome couples and families as well, so don't hesitate to bring your other half! But each person must become a single member, complete an application form, and pay the membership fee.
If you are married and your wife (or husband) does not want to join, we would like a note from her (him) with your application to say that they do not object to you becoming a member.
If you have children below the age of 16 and would like to bring them to events, we offer them junior membership free of charge. 16 to 18 years old are eligible for membership with their parents or guardians written consent. They will find others of their own age at most clubs we visit.
You can join us is by printing out the form at the bottom of this page and sending it with payment to:-
BM-SOC,
London
WC1N 3XX
Or you can write to our secretary and ask for a brochure and membership application form at the same address. We use this box number so that you can always reach us, not because we are shy!. (Our committee members are elected at our Annual General Meeting each August, and so personal addresses change).
You can now also
apply online and pay via Paypal.
Note: this is for new members only
Current fees for new membership (includes £3 admin fee) are:-
The SOC year runs from 1st January to 31st December. As the main ‘season’ for events is obviously the summer (although we do have some activities during the winter and there are naturist swims etc.), we operate a system of reduced membership fees if you apply to join after the middle of the year – we feel this is fair as you may have missed the chance to attend some of our events. Whatever time of year you apply to join SOC, send the full initial fee as shown in the box below, which includes a £3 joining fee.
