What a scorcher, so Summer has arrived. Outdoor work at the Mill is taking advantage of the fine weather. A lot of the pond side works have been completed and grants to cover the cost of machines and GSB for the paths have been successful so now it’s full steam ahead and try to get the outdoor projects completed before the weather breaks. We should have our reservoir liner this August and that will enable us to complete the earthworks at the West end of the site.

Since our last NEWSLETTER we held a Folk Festival at the Mill, running alongside Blaydon Race Festival. This was a huge success with some of the “turns” booking up for next year. About 400 people attended over the two days and the weather was perfect. Some sang, some listened and some danced and a good time was had by all.

We also let the Mill out for a children’s party in August, this was a great success and again a good time was had by all.

Now we hope that things are starting to move on, The Mill is becoming a recognised venue and our location and features appeal to a variety of groups and entertainment.

If you would like your club or company BBQ evening why not contact the Co-ordinator on 4146288.
