Code of Ethics / Code of Conduct

[Rumple41]

With the start of a new season, I thought it would be good to post our
Code of Ethics and Code of Conduct to remind us all of acceptable
behavior at club events.

Code of Ethics

The Buckeye Naturists believe the unclothed human body is natural,
wholesome and worthy of celebration, that any body shape, color, or
size is equally acceptable, and that nude bodies in the context of
nudist activities should not be viewed in a sexual way.

We emphasize self-acceptance, the acceptance of others on an equal
basis, and the freedom to enjoy nude activities in a protected
environment.

We want all of our members and guests to enjoy themselves and to want
to return. Welcome participants in our club events will not engage in
behavior that would cause others to feel embarrassed or
uncomfortable.

Such behavior could include language or actions, possession of a
camera without prior permission by The Buckeye Naturists and all those
photographed, or being too "friendly" in a way that causes others to
feel defensive.

We are proud of our record of making new visitors welcome and we are
particularly protective of people who are visiting our club for the
first time. We do not want anyone's attitude or behavior to make our
new guests' visit anything less than a comfortable, enjoyable
experience.

Code of Conduct

The use of drugs, narcotics and illegal substances is strictly
prohibited at any TBN sanctioned function.

The use of alcohol at club events is not permtted at the Westerville
JC Pool. Smoking outdoors will be permitted by special arrangements.
Contact the pool manager.

Abusive language, rude, or crude behavior, overtly sexual behavior, or
advances of an unwelcome or unwanted nature will not be tolerated.

This is a non-sexual, family-oriented organization. Public affection
and/or touching among members is permissible only to the extent that
it would be acceptable in a public, fully clothed, family-oriented
forum.

For sanitary reasons and as a courtesy, please bring and use a towel
to sit on at all nude club functions.

Minors may only attend our nude events when they are accompanied by or
with written, notarized permission from a parent or legal guardian.
When the written permission option is used, the minor must be
accompanied by a responsible adult. Children's behavior and care is
the responsibility of the parent or guardian.

While nudist publications and literature are available and their
perusal is encouraged, pornographic or sexually explicit material and
literature is not permitted at TBN functions.
