THE WINDMILL: Your windmill needs you. The 2017 season of opening to the public started on Easter Sunday. More volunteers are needed and they would love to see more local people being involved and only ask that you are available for Sunday afternoons, during the season, from 2pm to 5.30pm to help show the wonderful windmill off. Guides are trained and given support until they feel and there are experts on hand at every session. There is now a DVD, a virtual tour system for those that cannot climb up into the buck and there is new merchandise. It is not possible to do all this without people to join the team so it is vital that more people get involved in their local community and a feeling of usefulness and wellbeing. Going up the steps of the windmill is a much better way of keeping fit than going to a sweaty gym. For any further information regarding the windmill, please feel to give Jenny Alder a call on 01323 832329 or go to their Facebook page or website for ongoing progress and information about the windmill at www.windmillhillwindmill.org.
