Annual Mill Events
This page lists annual mill events from the point of view of Mill Trust Directors or volunteers responsible for organising or assisting in running them.
Mills Weekend Open Day
Organiser: Secretary/Assistant Secretary invites the radio hams.
National Mills Weekend is promoted by the Mills section of the Society for the Protection of Ancient Buildings (SPAB) and occurs annually on the second weekend of May.
We open on this Sunday which often falls on a regular open day. SPAB encourages mills that are not usually open to the public to open over this weekend and mills that charge for entry to offer free admittance. We do not offer free admittance - mostly due to this normally falling on one of our regular open days - so we do not participate in SPAB's advertising for the event. Worthing & District Amateur Radio Club (WaDARC) are invited to the mill and they operate a special call-sign, GB0HSM, that is only used at the windmill on this day. They reach out to mills around the world and keep track of contacts on a board in the roundhouse. Each participating mill will be hosting their own local amateur radio club who will be broadcasting with their own mill-specific call-signs.
