It's true, you don't need to be a member in order to enjoy the TNT!MEN  events, but membership certainly does have its privileges. For instance:

1. Greatly reduced entrance fees to most TNT!MEN events
For many of our events, there is only a nominal difference between the entrance fees of members and non-member . For instance the swim, dances and most house parties members are $5 and non-members are $8. All members receive three events free per year; this includes the AGM and two other events at the discretion of the board.

2. Early Membership Renewal drive. Members in good standing can renew
their membership at only $20 ($25 for out-of-country members) between
February first and June first, instead of the usual $25 annual membership
fee ($30 for out-of-country members) .

3. New members receive a $5 discount to their first event, if they become a
new member at the door of any of our official TNT!MEN events. In general
this means that the first event is free for a new member.

4. If new memberships are taken out early in the year, we
bridge their membership to June 30th of the subsequent year, in fact giving
them a year and a half membership for the price of one year

5. Massive discounts around the globe.
Because TNT!MEN is a full (non-landed) member of the Federation of Canadian
Naturists (The FCN) and we carry the FCN logo on the face of our membership
card, you will be able to enjoy FCN discounts around the globe when you
travel. Simply always make sure to bring your TNT!MEN membership card to
any of the thousands of nudist/naturist resorts and ask for your FCN
discount and if you travel with a friend always ask for couple's discounts.
Even within Canada this can make a big difference in your holiday expenses.

6. TNT!MEN current members are entitled to access to our special 'members
only' newsletter website. Current members in good standing receive a
special website address which allows them access to our own newsletter
website. Beside being able to exchange your personal naked anecdotes,
stories, cartoons and pix you can also read about other member's experiences
and of course board up-dates. Many guys just like it because of our
'members only' classified section which members can use when selling, buying
or exchanging things or services. You can even use it to find friends or
travel companions.  By the way the 'members
only' website address chances each July first, to ensure that only current
members (in good standing) will have access.

7. Member of TNT!MEN show their ongoing support for the incredible hard
work of the dozens of volunteers who hold and maintain our events. In
gratitude for maintaining your membership in good standing, you are
entitled to three FREE events per year. These include the AGM & Party; and two additional events to be determined by the
board. The board often decides to give out Free event vouchers in stead of the two discretionary events so members can decide for themselves when to use their vouchers.

If these reasons are not exciting enough to maintain your membership in good
standing, than how about our Sponsor supplied benefits:

8. Northbound on Yonge Street offers ten percent discount if you present your TNT!MEN membership before making your final purchases at the register.

9. Spa Excess (105 Carlton St.) offers greatly reduced access fees. From
Monday through Thursday you get a $2 discount of the price of a locker and a
$4 discount of the price of a room. And on each Friday evening from 8 pm
through 3 am (Saturday) during the Spa Excess' Deep Dark & Naked party you
will be given a FREE locker by simply presenting your TNT!MEN membership card and five dollars refundable key deposit. Bothe the card and the five dollars will be returned when you leave.

10. Priape on Church Street Street offers ten percent discount if you present your TNT!MEN membership before making your final purchases at the register. This only applies to non-sales items.

11. Than there is a membership benefit, we don't talk about a lot, but it still
is there. If for any reason your budget does not allow you to attend our
events, than members can make special confidential arrangements through the
Membership Coordinator to receive a voucher to attend our events. Even our
entire membership fee can be waived for those on a tight budget, who are
willing to volunteer three times within the same membership year. During the month of April the Membership Coordinator simply gives all volunteers who have done their share a free membership.

12. Than there are membership benefits that are meant to encourage
out-of-town guests to enjoy our events.
12A. When an out-of-town patron is a member of their own local
nudist/naturist organization, we will give them entrance to all of our
events at our own membership rate, as if they are TNT!MEN members . All we require is proof of membership in their local nudist/naturist group, when they check into our
events.
12B. When out-of-town guests are travelling on a budget, they can request
to be given lodging at the home of one of our members. They must do this in
advance by email. Sometimes there is a small fee, but generally speaking our
members host guests for free. All guests are required to do is to email us well
in advance and we will broadcast a 'Request for Lodging' to our membership.
Nine times out of ten, we are able to somehow accommodate our out-of-town
guests. Great friendships have come from these type of connections,
although one should always remember not to expect 'The Ritz', but Heh, an
(almost) free place to stay, is always better, than a
'several-hundred-dollars' room-service and suite charge at 'The Ritz.'

So Yes, it is absolutely worthwhile maintaining your membership in good
standing and don't forget TNT!MEN is one of the largest, all male, community
social groups in Toronto with its almost three hundred and fifty members on an annual
basis, plus numerous non-member supporters.  What a great way to make new friends!
