Searching fives for "spider:"


Understanding today's Naturist

Friendly, welcoming and above all else a great club.  We believe that a key element of Naturism is freedom of choice, and here at Fiveacres, that is the golden rule.

We are well placed to cater for those who have been naturists for many years, or those new to Naturism, who have not yet ventured into the club scene.

There are no work parties or chain gangs at "Fives". Naturally, your skills and experience will always be welcome, but the club is here for you to enjoy.

Nestling in the Hertfordshire countryside, near St. Albans and close to the M1 and M25, we are easily accessible by road or public transport.

The History of Fiveacres

As the longest established Naturist Club in the UK, Fiveacres can trace its roots back to 1925. 



To be completed ...

Clothes Optional Fun

Don't you just hate it when so-called naturist clubs suddenly insist that you put your clothes back on when the sun goes down?

Naturism today must be about Freedom.

To insist that our people dress in the evening would be saying that, actually, we don't really believe that public nudity is acceptable.    Forget all that - at Fives you wear what you want, when you want.

Dress up in your glad rags for the evening if it makes you feel good, then, should the mood take you, strip off later on if you fancy dancing naked in our disco/ballroom.


It's your choice - enjoy yourself!

Therapy and Healing at Fives

This is a side of Fives that we're building on.

If you need a massage, we have a number of members who are trained masseurs / masseuses.

We are currently inviting treatment professionals to take bookings for special daytime or evening treatment sessions:

Returning to fiveacres on June 11th 2005, LaStone Therapy (click the pic for more info): 

You will see on the Events Calendar that we have regular Reiki Therapy sessions with Sue.

Our resident Yoga teacher is planning to re-start classes on site too.


Nature, Peace, Tranquillity

With many of our membership London and Home Counties based, Fives is a real oasis of peace and tranquillity.

The club feels like a huge garden, and when you arrive, the outside world disappears as you close the gate. Nature takes over. You can tell it's a good, safe, happy place by the wildlife, flora and fauna, which chooses to share it with us.

The oldest resident is the huge Oak in front of the club house - here before us all, and will probably outlast most of us too.

Yes, Fives is known for its relatively youthful membership, and is vibrant and fun. But there is always a quiet spot somewhere to be alone, thoughtful and still.

Fives in Winter

We still run a full calendar of social events during the Winter season.

Come and defrost in the sauna, or take a glass of mulled wine (or both).

Join us on Bonfire Night or Halloween, little kids and grown up kids all welcome.

Christmas and New Year are popular party nights, and we put on a special kids Christmas Party or Panto visit too.

The Fives Ethos

So what makes Fives different to other naturist clubs?

If you know something about the history of naturism, you'll know it's always been a battle to counter the image of naturists as either perverts or just plain bonkers.

Traditional naturist clubs have always gone to great lengths to down-play any pleasure and fun to be found in naturism - making it out to be all about health and fitness and wholesome high mindedness.

Times and attitudes may be changing - but at Fives, we just believe it feels good to be naked - it's pretty much always been that way here.

Oh, and we don't expect people to give up one form of mind and body control by becoming naturists, only to have another imposed by the club they join.

So, we don't discriminate against those who are pierced, tattooed, dyed, shaved or any thing else you can think of. It's your body - it's your choice! (And this really does make us different).

Girly Stuff

Let's face it girls - the world outside is full of sad creepy blokes who just want to get off on looking at naked women.

It's harsh but true, if a bloke isn't part of a couple, there is usually a reason - sometimes it might be perfectly legitimate. Maybe a perfectly nice decent bloke had a partner who has passed away. Of course, we'll be sympathetic in such cases.

In any event, single guys are not invited to join until we have checked them out, figured out what their motivations are. That's why we operate a waiting list for single men.

Rest assured - Fives guys are nice guys

All Shapes and Sizes
Naturists are a diverse bunch of people. Whatever you look like, you won't feel out of place. Naturism is about accepting people as they really are. Have a look at some of the photo pages - you'll see - it takes all sorts.

Man Stuff

Straight to the point chaps. We don't tolerate sexual predators, pests or weirdos at Fives.

If you are single, and want to join a naturist club to meet girls, forget it.  REALLY!  In the first place there are virtually no single female members, and any pestering will certainly result in your expulsion.

What normal guys worry about...

If you are new to naturism, maybe you are worrying about getting an erection when you take your clothes off. It's probably the most frequently asked question.

Naturism is about naked humans being together in their natural state. People are sexual beings. But wherever you are in a naturist club, you are going to have at least a towel with you (we insist you sit on your own towel for obvious hygiene reasons).

If you unexpectedly do happen to get an erection, just cover yourself up. Nobody is going to make a big deal of it unless you start prancing about with it (in which case see the first line above).

In reality old hands are not turned on by simple nudity and newbies are usually so nervous that it's the last thing that's going to happen, so it's just not an issue.

Summer Holidays at Fives

Camping and Caravans:

Camping pitches and caravan sites are available on a daily, weekly, weekend or longer term tariff. They come with and without electricity hookups, mains water and drainage.

P.O.A.

Contacts

We have extensive contacts with holiday providers abroad, particularly in Cap D'Agde in France. See the links page or contact us direct for more information.

Music at Fives

With 3 resident DJ's to mix and match, we provide musical entertainment for all tastes.

DJ John: Having run his own nightclubs in the past, John is an expert at floor filling with his mix of golden oldies, 50's, 60's, and 70's classic gems, and special DJ mixes of well known hits.

DJ Dave: A child of the 70's and 'yoof' of the 80's, Dave draws his main inspiration from that era, but having worked for many years as a mobile DJ, he has a very wide and varied record case.

DJ Martin: An eclectic mix of the best tunes from the past with the most up to date chart music. No CD's here - 25,000 mp3's and a laptop. A particular fan of bangin' tunes from the dance music club scene. Lights down, smoke and lasers on ...

We also have live acts in from time to time - check the Events Calendar for the next one.

Barely Believable

Hot News: An outstanding contender has emerged for

"Stupidest Quote Of The Year"

At the bar, watching the semi-clad daftness during one of our more riotous party nights, a visitor from a nearby club commented disapprovingly...

"True naturists don't have to take their clothes off to have fun."



Rules change:


The pool volleyball "NO FISTING" rule shall henceforth be known as the "NO PUNCHING" rule. Apparently the previous rule was causing some confusion.

The Clubhouse

Inside the Clubhouse, you will find a warm welcome.   Come and relax with a drink from the licensed bar and, perhaps something to eat from our Servery, serving meals and snacks during the day.

Enjoy a game of pool, table tennis, darts or table football. Unwind in the sauna, or enjoy some holistic therapy in the treatment room.

At weekends join the party in the bar or dance the night away in the ballroom.

Whatever you would like to do.
Clubhouse Opening Hours
Summer Season: 1st April to 30th September

Mon to Thu   11am until 6pm
Friday       11am until 6pm plus 8pm until late

Note: The Fiveacres naturist club site, (including toilets and hot showering facilities) is open to members 24 by 7, 365 days a year.

The Grounds

7.26 acres of beautiful wooded grounds.   Plenty of sunbathing lawns, with shady areas for those really hot days. 

Pitch your tent in our camping area, park your own caravan on one of our temporary sites with electricity and water, or stay in one of our guest caravans.

Our South facing clubhouse terrace, sports courts, the pool - all make for a great day out, or a relaxing weekend away.



The Pool

Surrounded by sunbathing lawns, our open air heated swimming pool is a great focal point for all.

A wonderful place to keep the kids entertained all day while you top up your tan.

This is the life! - laze in the sun all day, with an occasional plunge or cold shower to cool off, or if you like, join a fun game of volley ball in the water, the choice as always is yours.

Directions

From the M1:  Exit the M1 at Junction 6 and head for the A405 towards St. Albans. This is a dual carriageway, so you need to continue past the club up to the M25 roundabout, go all the way round and get back on the A405 Southbound towards Watford.

From the M25:  Exit the M25 at Junction 21A and head for the A405 Southbound towards Watford.

Take the first (almost immediate) slip road on the left to leave the A405, turn left opposite the garage and then left into Five Acres Avenue (go all the way to the end to find the club).
