F.A.Qs. (Frequently Asked Questions)

Once you have printed and completed your Active Membership application, you can bring it with you to the next CONGA Event, especially if you have never attended an even before. You can also submit your application on-line. Please visit the Membership page.

To send us email, click on the Contact Us button on the menu above.

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). 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.

Check your Bulk (aka Junk) email folder. For some reason, it appears that some mail servers have been putting CONGA email in some people's Bulk email folders. So, if about a week before the event you have not seen a response to your RSVP, check your Bulk email folder. If you find CONGA email there, mark the email as not bulk (junk) 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).

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.

When you arrive at the Photo Album page from the Active Members menu, you will see a User Name and a Password. Clicking the Enter the Photo Album link will cause a dialog to open, asking for a User Name and a Password.

Type the ones from the page exactly as they are shown. Both are case-sensitive so you must type any capital letters that you see.

Our membership has all different body types; 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.

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!

NO! Not at all. In fact, overt sexual behavior during club functions is strictly forbidden.

Absolutely NOT! No sexual activity will be tolerated whatsoever, even in a hot tub.

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!

Some members like to wear sandals or socks as well, to protect their feet. This is always a good idea if we are in a rented facility.

Yes, it is common etiquette to bring a towel to all naturist events. The towel is placed wherever you sit and then you sit your bare bottom on 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.

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. You even control if other members can see your name on a roster.

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. Please see our Privacy Policy.

Passive Membership is free. Annual Active Membership dues are $20/single, $30/couple. For typical events there is a $5 admission fee for CONGA Active Members and an $10 admission fee for guests, Passive Members and out-of-town naturists. Special events may require higher admission fees, depending on event expenses.

Membership dues are for CONGA's operational expenses. These include expenses for the congaline.org website service, banking account fees, and to subsidize more expensive events. Event fees cover the cost of renting the space for private functions, prizes, refreshments and food at events. All members and guests are expected to pay the appropriate fee when attending events.

NO! CONGA is strictly an adult male organization and all members and guests must be 18 years of age or older, with no exceptions!

CONGA is a Guy organization. We have gay, straight and bisexual men who enjoy nudity. Respect for all sexual orientations is required.

See the Membership page!

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.

Yes. You can also become a Passive Member, which allows you access to many parts of the web site, and allows you to participate in the Forum. Please visit the Membership page.
