A SPECIAL VOLUNTEER PLEASE?
The 2 Peters are not the most capable on Facebook and the like and we’d love a Social Media volunteer who could spend perhaps a couple of hours a week keeping us up to date!

NEW DIRECTORS
The Old Saw Mill is becoming a very busy place as you’ll see from today’s eMill, we now have 2 paid cooks Alex and Yvonne and the café is busy every day. The 2 Peters need to clone at least another one! Would you be interested contact either Peter and have a chat about what’s entailed!
