CARS Operated from Stock Windmill, Saturday, 12th and Sunday 13th May.

Many visitors and CARS Members joined us to commemorate the Windmills On The Air.   CARS used GB5SM.

The weather was very fine and dried off the watery land during the weekend - very different to the previous period.

As the caravan will not be on site we will lose toilet facilities.   We will have tea facilities.

The shadow of one of the sails can be seen.

The Windmill was open to the public on Sunday from 2 to 5pm - FREE Admission - Staffed by CBC Friends of the Windmill to give you a conducted tour or this Green Energy giant.   Over 100 visitors came to the site - a great turn-out.
