13th annual nude College Greek Athletic Meet

[HelicopterBob]

WHAT? Thirteenth annual nude College Greek Athletic Meet. That's Greek as in the ancient times, as authentic as possible.

WHO? Individuals (no official teams) from 17 nearby colleges, as well as any students visiting Florida for spring break. (As many as 50 people have come from 11 states.) While Classics students and track stars are especially welcome, NO EXPERIENCE IS NEEDED. Entry classifications are male athletes, male non-athletes, female athletes and female non-athletes.

WHERE? Near Monticello, Florida, on the grounds of Tallahassee Naturally, a long-established nudist park.

WHEN? Sunday, March 30, 2008. (Rain date: April 6).

WHY? To discover what it really felt like to be a students in ancient Greece, where the goal was a well developed mind in a well developed body, where students spent all year perfecting themselves, then presented themselves naked before the gods as an act of worship.

PRICE: FREE FOR PARTICIPANTS. Spectators must be NUDE and spectators get in for $20 per person or couple.

RULES: EVERYONE ON THE GROUNDS WILL BE NUDE, this is not a clothing optional event. No shoes, drugs, or excessive drinking. Competition rules will be loose--part ancient, part modern.

PRIZES: Anyone of any age may compete, but the traditional wreath of leaves goes to the best over-all college students in each classification for the Pentathlon. If you have to ask, that's long jump, discus throw, 200-yard dash, javelin throw, and stand-up wrestling in case of a tie. Participants are free to improvise competitions in other events.

BRING: One clean birthday suit, beach towel or blanket, sunscreen, sack lunch, and plenty of drinking water.

CAMERAS: Not allowed! Exception: reporters from newspapers may make special arrangements by calling: (850)222-1886.

NOTE: Anyone under 18 must bring signed parental permission.

I wonder how Steve (former member Whitestokes here) is doing? This was his passion.

I marked this as sticky and members can do that too by the way.  Just click on it when you post and it will remain at the top.  Once the event has passed, if you can remember, please mark it as unsticky and it will drop off the top.  Just a little bit of fyi.

Well thanks for the info Danee.  I was wondering about Whitestokes myself.

Well thanks for the info Danee.  I was wondering about Whitestokes myself. 

I contacted Whitestokes on an another message board. and he is 36 so he said he had to leave and felt out of touch with the younger crowd on this board. I bet he will be there at the College Greek thingy.

Do you know anyone that has been to this event ? what was it like ?

I received an email from him on the weekend just saying hello and it was good to hear from him. He didn't have to leave of course if one looks in the appropriate thread one can see and he certainly fell into that class of people who could have stayed on, but the second reason is certainly reason to leave.  Some feel out of touch and some, never do and that is why they stay. Again, you will see that in the appropriate thread.

So are you going to make it Danee?

I went last year and I had a good time.  I like being active and competing so I get a kick out of the event.  The biggest reason I'm not more active in nudism is that I feel like when I go to nudist resorts, its always anticlimactic because there's not much to do beyond lethargically sitting around the pool (which isn't my cup of tea).  So I like going to this 'Olympic' recreation where I have a purpose and am being engaged while nude and also have the chance to meet some new people.

As for the event itself, its in a open field at Tallahassee Naturally where there is room for long jump, discuss, a sprint, javelin and wrestling (if need be as a tie breaker).  Men and women compete in separate divisions and then everyone choses if they want to compete as an athlete or a non-athlete, which make up two different classes.  And then we gradually go around to the different events where Paul LeValley explains them and we get to practice and then do them. 

The whole affair is very laidback, some people compete and some people just watch.  History intrigues me so I enjoy envisioning myself as an ancient Greek, though this is a far cry from Olympia.  My biggest complaint from last year is that the number of college students were limited and though I still had fun, I would've enjoyed a larger turnout among people my age.  We were told the showing varies a lot year to year so hopefully its a more collegiate environment this year.

All in all, it was just a fun way to relax and be active, nude and try something new and different.  I plan and being there and hopefully I'll see some of you all there too.  If you have any more questions, or want a better description, I'd be happy to answer any questions.  It's too bad whitestokes isn't here because I'm sure he'd do a better job plugging the event than I can.

Well i look forward to seeing you there. 

[nakednudists]

I personally have attended the greek olympics held at Tally Naturlally.  As mentioned above, it is in an open field and they have about 4 events to compete in.  We are probably going to go to socialize and meet up with Steve.

Anyone else have plans on going-anyone who lives in or around florida?

Danee, Lou, Jessie, etc.???

[naturistboi]

This looks so cool, I wish I could go!

[PirateJohn]

I used to throw discus in college so I always thought doing this would be fun, though it's been a long time since I've been in competition form.  I'd imagine doing discus barefoot would hurt the feet, though -- I had to wear some pretty expensive shoes when I competed.

I'm planning on going.  I'm at the Superbowl South at Lake Como right now.  I've talked to Lou and I don't think he'll be able to make it.  But I have talked with someone that was at the Superbowl at White Thorn this year and he's brining their group down for it.

Let's just hope that the weather is better than this weekend.

[nakednudists]

See u there Bob!

Anybody else planning on showing up this weekend (beyond those above)?
