Wilton Windmill, overlooking the Kennet & Avon Canal near Crofton, has a busy season ahead — beginning with a volunteer recruitment day on the 19th March, followed by the start of public open days at Easter and then the annual May Food Fair.
Volunteer Recruitment Day
Saturday 19th March 2011 starting at 10.30am at The Swan Inn, Wilton
Guides, millers and shop volunteers are needed and lapsed volunteers are very welcome to go along for a refresher.
Meet for coffee at The Swan in Wilton and then walk or drive up to the Windmill where, weather permitting, milling will be taking place. Members of the Windmill Society will then give a taste of what being a volunteer involves.
Finish back at The Swan by 1pm.
Young Millers club
For parents or grandparents who want to volunteer there will be a Young Millers’ Club for children or grandchildren over 5-years-old at the same time as the training. There will be paper-based activities for the children, stories about the mill and activities with flour — weather permitting.
If you are interested, please contact Susie Brew on 01264 731404 or at susie.brew@hotmail.co.uk by Friday 11th March to reserve a place.
