Where do I mail my completed "Active Membership" application?
|
Once you have printed and completed your Active Membership application, you can bring it with you to the next CONGA Event(s) or you can mail it to the US Postal mailing address near the upper right corner of the application. You can also find our US Postal mailing address by clicking on the Contact Us button near the upper right corner of this window. |

I emailed my RSVP to attend a CONGA event, but I have not yet received a confirmation or set of directions. What's up with that?
|
Confirmations with directions are typically emailed out about 4-5 days prior to the event. That way we have all the details assembled for the event and we can send the confirmations out in one fell swoop. If about 4-5 days prior to the event you have not seen a response containing directions, check your Bulk (aka Junk) email folder. If you find CONGA email there, mark the email as *not* bulk/junk/spam email, so that from that point on, CONGA email should be delivered to your inbox instead. You can also prevent this problem by putting the CONGA email addresses in your email address book (or in the "Safe List" for some email systems). You can find further details about this at our CentralOhioNaturistGuyAlliance Yahoo Group. If you still cannot find the CONGA response to your RSVP, please be sure to let us know at least a few days prior to the event so that we can resend the directions to you.
NOTE: If you RSVP using an RSVP link on the Events page of this web site, you should receive an automated copy of your email at the address you supply. You can treat that as a confirmation that we received your email. However, directions will still not be sent until about 4-5 days prior to the event.

Is CONGA an elite group for body builders and muscle men with large penises?
How open and accepting is CONGA?
|
Our membership has all different body types and penis sizes; we encourage diversity. We focus on being an accepting and welcoming group of men. We are not concerned with your age (but you must be at least 18), race or physical appearance; only your attitude.
|
So what happens if I get... well... a "woody"?
|
We do recognize that may occur from time to time and is perfectly natural. Just think about your Great Aunt Hazel or something and that should take care of that! :-)
|
Isn't this really just a big sex party?
|
NO! Not at all. In fact, overt sexual behavior during club functions is strictly forbidden.
|
OK, so it's not a sex party. But it's still OK to have sex in the hot tub, right?
|
Absolutely NOT! No sexual activity will be tolerated whatsoever, even in a hot tub.
|
Do you really have to be naked?
|
Yes. CONGA events are nude (that's kinda the point!). Clothing is NOT an option.
You should however, bring a towel to sit on unless you plan to stand all night.
Just a little naked etiquette!
|
What about confidentiality?
|
All information received by our organization and its representatives, including our membership list, will be held in the strictest of confidence at all times to insure your privacy.
The privacy and anonymity of all members is an absolute requirement. No members may share phone numbers and information about other members or club activities with any person or persons outside the membership, nor with any other organizations.
|
Bring a towel? What's that all about?
|
Yes, it is common etiquette to bring a towel to all CONGA events. The towel is placed wherever you sit and then you sit your bare bottomon the towel. For events with access to a hot tub, you need to bring a second towel for drying when you get out of the hot tub. You cannot use that same towel to put on the furniture you sit on.
|
Are there membership dues or event fees?
|
Annual Active Membership dues are $20/single, $30/couple. For typical events there is a $5 admission fee for CONGA Active Members and an $8 admission fee for guests, Passive Members and out-of-town naturists. Special events may require higher admission fees, depending on event expenses.
|
What do the membership dues and event fees cover?
|
Membership dues are for CONGA's operational expenses.
These include expenses for the CONGALine.org website service,
banking account fees, printing news letters, postage and refreshments and food at events.
Event fees cover the cost of renting the space for private functions.
All members and guests are expected to pay the appropriate fee when attending events.
|
Can my 17 year old friend join or attend as a guest?
|
NO! CONGA is strictly an adult male organization and all members MUST be 18 years of age or older, with NO exceptions!
|
Is this a Gay organization?
|
CONGA is a "Guy" organization. We have gay, straight and bisexual men who enjoy nudity. Respect for all sexual orientations is required.
|
How can I join?
Why is RSVP'ing for events so important?
|
Well, Miss Manners thinks to RSVP is just plain polite. But RSVP'ing helps us gauge how many people to expect for refreshments, food and such, so that we spend your dues money wisely. In addition, RSVP information is required for events in people's
homes (which they are very gracious to provide). Most homes can only accommodate a limited number of
people. We really would rather not turn anyone away at the door because that limit has been reached -
but it has happened.
|
Do I have to be an Active Member of CONGA in order to join the Yahoo Group CentralOhioNaturistGuyAlliance?
|
No. While most CONGA Active Members have signed up on our Yahoo Group (called CentralOhioNaturistGuyAlliance), this Yahoo Group is also a place for Passive Members to get acquainted with CONGA, receive notification of upcoming events as well as join in on discussions about CONGA, nudity and related issues. Adult males are welcome to join our Yahoo Group (and thus become a Passive Member) by visiting our Yahoo Group page. |
What is NEON??
|
NEON (NorthEast Ohio Naturists) is a similar organization to CONGA, in that it is also a social nudist group, but is located in the greater Cleveland area. NEON extends their events to CONGA Active Members at the NEON member admission rates. (Please note, these events are hosted by NEON, not by CONGA. So, you should always visit the NEON website for the most accurate details of their events.) To reciprocate, CONGA also extends CONGA events to NEON active members at the CONGA Active Member admission rates. |
