Volunteering
|
| |
The Mill is kept going purely by voluntary effort, so if you are interested in helping, then please contact one of the Directors listed on the Mill Trust page of this site.
The Open Day afternoon Rota only requires say, one or two attendances during the season between April and September and can be; helping on the Shop or refreshment counter, the gate or step control for people entering the Mill on Guided Tours. New Mill Guides are also welcome as are workers helping with Mill and site management.
Or just come along - we work at the mill on every Thursday evening and during the first and third Sunday mornings of every month.

Summer Fete
| | |
 | Great success
The Summer Fete in July was another success. The weather turned out sunny, around 1,000 people came and a very good £3,017.48 was raised. There was an air of pleasure and enjoyment pervading the afternoon. |
| |
 |
Help wanted
We are always looking for volunteers to help prepare for the fete, as well as on the actual day. Please let us know if you are willing to do either.
We were very grateful for all those that helped during the wet weather setting up this year. |

The Mill
| | |
The repaired sails and new stocks have been in use since 2004 for
free running during our Open Days and for grinding wheat to flour.
|
| |
 |
Working on the new stock
We obtained a 40ft (12m) laminated larch beam and shaped it into a new stock to hold a pair of sails.
|
| |
 |
Repairing the sails
The spring shuttered sails have been repaired, fitted to the stock ...
|
| |
 |
Lifting the sail into position
... and lifted piece meal into position on the mill.
|
| |
 |
Sails in position again
The back stays and sail shutters were replaced, in situ, ready for grinding.
