Sunday 11th September High Salvington Windmill Rural Crafts Day Static Steam Engines Display by the Sussex & Kent Weald Stationery Engine Group Rural Craft Demos Home made cakes, Preserves, Conserves Stalls, Refreshments available 
Teddy Bears Picnic at West Blatchington Windmill Ivan, son of committee members Pat and Jane Marshall, who come from High Salvington Mill, near Worthing, has offered to organise a picnic, starting at 1 pm. Free mill tours will also run from 2 pm to 5 pm. All cuddly toys and their owners (including adults) are welcome. There will be various games, a teddy bear zip wire, and a teddy bear hunt in the mill. For lunch, bring a picnic and blanket, and the usual refreshments will be available in the barn. Please come, even if you don't have a cuddly toy, to support Ivan and the committee, and even raise a few funds to help pay for the mill's restoration. The current painting and repairs are NEARLY finished, but there a few small items outstanding, so unfortunately the scaffolding is unlikely to be down by 11th September.
