Newspaper Page Text* Page 7 Griff in Daily News Friday, August 13,1976 Nudists improve property; plan club in Henry County A spokesman for the Nudist Corporation of America says plans are in full swing to complete a fl million Nudist Gun and Recreation Club on Hampton-Locust Grove Road, but county officials disagree that it will ever be completed. Bob Smith, who was at work on property formerly Occupied by Triple A Gun Club, told The Weekly - Advertiser Friday that he is a member of the nudist club. Smith showed the newspaper reporter through A four bedroom home, currently being remodeled on the premises. Workmen were painting rooms at the jttme of the tour. The house, which includes a spacious den, living room, dining room, and an enclosed 28’ X 38’ swimming pool, will be occupied by the club’s president and manager, Francis A. G lime re, Smith said. Smith, who was apparently overseeing work that includes grading and adding several thousand feet of Chain link fence, pointed out the site of a clubhouse he said would soon be built. An old clubhouse on the property burned earlier this year under what Bremen called suspicious conditions. Henry County Zoning Administrator Walker McGarlty said he received plans in the mall Thursday for the proposed clubhouse along with a brochure describing club activities. McGarlty told The Weekly - Advertiser, “I want it to be known I’m against it. They have not been issued a permit for a building or a nudist colony.

Their master plan includes building a shopping development, patio homes, and residences valued to $36,000 to $60,000 on the property, he said. Smith said the club is for families only. “It will be on private property, not on the street, and the members will be nude if they wish -- probably 90 per cent of the time,” he added. He said a bam that sits directly behind the main house will be converted to a winter recreation building.
