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.

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.

for free-will donations. 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.
