## **Chairman’s Report 2024** 

At the beginning of 2024, all works were completed on the cap and the sails were reinstated with their new coat of paint, things were looking spick and span. This was brilliantly managed by the volunteers, on time and within the budget. It was great to see the mill’s flour being advertised on Facebook and other social media sites. Thank you to those who deal with this. It really does get the mill out there. 

The official opening of the Mill was on the 13[th] April 2024. There were lots of volunteers and guests in attendance to watch our principal guests, Lord Burlington, heir to the Duke of Devonshire, and his son James arrive in the usual manner behind the wheel of a tractor. They carried out the formal ‘ribbon cutting’ and took a private tour of the windmill. We were entertained by The Amber Band plus The Makeney Morris Dancers who were a great addition to the day and there were some excellent refreshments to be had. Thank you to all those involved - it was a great day. 

Our big spend of the year was the fitting of suspended scaffolding on the mill and the pointing of the mortar and repair to some of the stone on the body of the Mill. 

Work on the upper half of the tower was completed in November. Thanks to Catriona Munn who sourced grants from the Headley Trust and from the Association of Industrial Archaeology (AIA) which fully funded this work. The remainder will be completed as the weather gets better later this year. 

Also funded by the National Lottery Heritage Fund was a Community Engagement Officer (Georgia Haney) who is no stranger to the windmill. With Georgia’s engagement came visits from a school and other community groups. We have also put together a half day programme of study about the windmill and milling that we have taken into schools. 

Despite the lack of flour because of the repairs to the mill we were able to host our usual event days which were well supported by volunteers and members of the public. 

The Friends of Heage Windmill have again shown what they can achieve, not only have they worked tirelessly throughout the year maintaining the windmill, they have also supported the event days and have managed to put £21.000 into the societies bank account this year. This is nothing short of amazing. 

I would like to give my thanks and that of Trustees to all the volunteers and supporters of the windmill.

Some special mentions must go to; 

David Land who, after 12 years in the ’job’, is stepping down as Maintenance Manager. He has built an excellent team and steered us through some challenging times. David will continue to volunteer at the windmill. 

David and Jenny have also run the Bric a Brac store which this year has taken a massive £1,251.60 and since inception in 2013, -£13,495.3. 

Thank you to all those friends of the mill who have again taken up responsibilities at the recent AGM. Meg Tarlton who wishes to reduce her workload has been unable to do so at this moment in time. Agreeing to stay on for us as Secretary to the Friends in the short term. Meg has done a superb job over many years and will continue as Secretary to the Trust. 

Brian & Mary who have decided to stand down from their long and much appreciated time going out into the community to promote the Windmill through talks and presentations. 

The passing of Tim Castledine was met with great sadness. He was a stalwart of the windmill, involved in all areas and he is missed. 

Thank you all for your continued support and my best wishes to you for 2025.
