Being a naturist is first of all a matter of lifestyle, not wether you are member of a certain club. You can easily bath naked from a Danish beach, or walk around naked at home cleaning or cooking without a member-card.

But if you choose to join a club, it can give you a lot of advantages. On the one hand you will get the opportunity to meed other naturists in a safe environment, and on the other hand you may acheive rebates on different events and on camping sites.

You membership is not unimportant for the club or organisation you choose to join. Your membership fee will raise the clubs possibillities to work for naturism, and a greater number of members gives the organisation a greater weight when talking to press or authorities.

So the answer to the question is, t/imageshat although it is not directly nessecary, you should join a club in order to strengthen naturism and enhance everybodys possibillities of living the naked life.

If you really want to make a difference for naturism in Denmark, join both DN and DNU and make an effort to make the two organisations collaborate - unity makes strong!
