Fall 2007 BANG Weekend at the Yellow Monkey in Ogunquit, Maine

Reservations Closed

Announcing the fifth BANG weekend at the Yellow Monkey Guest Houses. Enjoy summer’s last hurrah by spending a nude weekend with BANG in Ogunquit at The Yellow Monkey Guest Houses, on Main Street in Ogunquit, conveniently located near the beach, restaurants and bars.

As with the previous Ogunquit events, BANG has reserved rooms in three buildings at the Yellow Monkey; these are the Tara Cottage, containing rooms T-1 through T-10, the Stone House, containing rooms J, K and L, and the Hideaway Building, containing rooms H-1 through H-5. New with this stay are three pet-friendly rooms in two other buildings: rooms A and D in the Brown Building (the building with the sundeck), and apartment C-1 (the converted garage across the parking lot from the Tara Cottage, next to the hot tub). We will have exclusive use of the Tara Cottage and are free to be nude anywhere within this building, outdoors on the attached sundeck at the rear of the building, as well as on the adjacent lawn for activities such as BBQ and volleyball or just lounging in the sun or shade (new this year). This building is where all the common activities will be held. Rooms J, K and L in the Stone House share a common private entryway, separate from other areas of that building; we are free to be nude in that part of the building only. Rooms H-1 through H-5 in the Hideaway Building have private entryways and do not share a common area so nudity is only permitted in the rooms and on the private sundecks. We also have access to the hot tub and the large roof sun deck, where we can also be nude. Keep in mind that these last two amenities are in separate buildings, and that we must be clothed whenever we are within sight of the street or any public area. Of course, there must be no sexual activity within sight of any public area. While within the buildings, please take care to use your towel to cover any upholstered furniture upon which you will sit. We don’t want any unpleasant souvenirs to prevent us from being welcome at the Yellow Monkey in the future.

We will be renting the rooms for Friday and Saturday nights with a late check-out of 1PM on Sunday. Dave Labbe will be preparing hearty Saturday and Sunday breakfasts in the Tara Cottage, the costs of which, as well as the standard BANG event fees and NAC donation, have been included in the price of the rooms. Interested persons must book through BANG and pay BANG in advance. Anyone not booking through BANG, but booking directly with the Yellow Monkey, will be assigned rooms in other houses which will not be nude-only. Any such persons will be welcome to visit the Tara Cottage, permitted to participate in BANG activities and enjoy the Saturday and/or Sunday breakfasts but will be expected to pay BANG $14 per day for the privilege. Non-members may join us at member costs plus the standard $2/day non-member supplement. Day-trippers (people just visiting for the day and not staying overnight) enjoying the BANG activities and meals will be expected to pay the same $14/day event fee.

Transportation: It is assumed that people will be responsible for their own transportation. Free parking is available at the Yellow Monkey. For those without a car, two alternatives are carpooling and Amtrak’s Downeaster train service from Boston’s North Station to Portland, Maine, with a stop in nearby Wells, Maine, 6.5 miles from the Yellow Monkey. The train trip takes 1 hour and 50 minutes and costs $17 each way. The Yellow Monkey offers free train station pick-up and drop-off.

Room Sharing: If you want to share a room, please choose your own roommate(s) and make the reservations for all at the same time; we’re not a match-making service.

Reservations: Reservations for this event will be accepted on a first come first served basis. Because of this, we cannot guarantee that the accommodations you desire will be available when you make your reservations, so be prepared with an alternate selection. Last June’s response was a phenomenal success and everyone had a great time, so we expect a very lively response for this event. Don’t delay. Make your reservations ASAP. When reserving, please specify the room that you want, the number of people who will be sharing (as well as their names) and the number of nights. We expect most people to stay both nights, so remember to multiply the prices below by 2. RSVP via e-mail to events@bangma.org or contact Dave Lent at 781-593-6188.

Cancellation/Refund Policy: Because we must pay for the rooms in advance, any cancellations received after September 8 will result in the forfeiture of the room portion of the fee unless we can fill the room from a waiting list. The $14/day BANG portion of the fee will be refunded. Cancellations received before September 8 will result in a full refund.

Prices: The prices and amenities for each room are listed in the table below. The prices are per person, per night member prices and vary depending on the type of accommodation and number of people in the room. The prices include taxes but do not include tips for the Yellow Monkey staff. Non-members, please add $2 per person, per night to the prices below.
