Barn Dance
| | |
 | | We had an enjoyable Barn Dance in June, enjoyed by about 40 adults and
children. It still proved to be a fun event! |
| |
Summer Fete
| | |
 | Great success
The Summer Fete in July was another success. The weather was good, around 1,000 people came and a healthy £2,639.47 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. |

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.
