Events Calendar

If you have a suggestion for an event, want to host/coordinate an event, or have other questions, please send BANG a note.

As a courtesy to the host and the other guests, please RSVP to any event at least one week in advance unless otherwise specified.

Remember to check this spot for any last minute cancellations or other corrections.

Because many people will be gone over the holiday weekend, we are postponing our Chelsea party one week.

July 2008

Jul 4-5 (Friday-Saturday)   Excursion to Rock River, VT
Not a BANG event.   Chuck C. will be spending the Fourth of July at our favorite nude outdoor bathing location at Rock River, Vermont, between Brattleboro and Newfane. Anyone wanting to join Chuck, either for a day-trip or for both days, should contact him by email at chazroma@verizon.net. He can assist with carpooling and finding overnight accommodations at a local hotel. This will not be a formal BANG party and therefore no BANG fees apply. This will be just a bunch of naked gay guys enjoying the great outdoors as nature intended. People are expected to take care of their own expenses.

Jul 12 (Saturday, 6pm-10pm)   Dance/Massage Party, Chelsea, MA
Note date change. Potluck Dinner and Dance Party in Chelsea, MA. Bring your dancing shoes, a bag to stash your clothes, a towel to sit on, and food to share with the group.

The BANG party begins at 6:00 and ends at 10:00. Doors will be locked at 9:00. Guests are welcome to stay on after the event. Cost: $8 for members, $10 for non-members.

Jul 20 (Sunday, 2pm-6pm)   Cruise to Nowhere, Danversport, MA
Join Dex aboard his 44-foot cabin cruiser for an afternoon cruise to nowhere. Although it is hoped that this will be a nude event once we are at sea, it may be a mostly clothed event, depending upon the temperature and sea. Bring your own lunch that requires NO cooking and non-alcoholic beverages. FYI, the Coast Guard has a "zero-tolerance policy" -- absolutely NO ILLEGAL SUBSTANCES are to be brought aboard. The boat is not handicapped-friendly; crewmembers should be able-bodied and know how to swim. Be sure to bring warm clothing just in case it's chilly on the ocean. The boat will depart at 2pm SHARP! Expect to return at about 6pm. Cost: $8 for members, $10 for non-members. Limit: 12 participants. RSVP with your full name to dex.cubit@verizon.net or contact Dex at 781-245-2926. Do NOT RSVP to the BANG events email.
