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.
Or just come along - we work at the mill on every Thursday evening and during the first and third Sunday mornings of every month.

Barn Dance
| | |
 | | We had a successful Barn Dance in June, enjoyed by about 60 adults and
children. The weather was cloudy but it still proved to be a fun event! We were grateful for a substantial donation. |
| |
Summer Fete
| | |
 | Great success
The Summer Fete in July was another success. The weather was good, over 1,000 people came and a record £3,158.54 was raised. Many thanks for the good organisation, our neighbours on the hill - and the public's attendance. |
| |
 |
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. |

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.
The shop is a success within the Barn area.

 |
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.
