For our November meeting we were pleased to welcome Jim Bailey, of Heckington Windmill, as our speaker. Jim is the Mill Manager, one of the Trustees and a Director of the company/charity and has been involved with the mill for nearly 5 years. He entertained us with a very enjoyable history of the mill - from its early days right up to the present. Jim was able to tell us that The Heritage Lottery Fund has awarded the Trust £1m for them to carry on their good work. It is hoped that they will be milling again by next year. At present their grain is milled at Sibsey Trader Mill. Jim brought some of the flour for people to buy. He also brought a freshly baked loaf for us to sample.
The Flower of the Month Competition was won by Fien with a penstemon.
Copies of our 2014 Programme were available at the meeting.
