| Message | I am looking forward to visiting Gayle in June with some friends from the USA. One of my visitors has the family name of Dinsdale and she wants to see where her ancestors came from before emigrating to America. You have a beautiful village. |

| Message | It is really nice to see such parts of our local history being preserved when everything around us is slowly but surely heading for a slow down, Our oil hungry society is using up the black stuff as if there was no tomorrow, while here the energy is eco friendly Places such as this one will one day be in great demand as will all traditional crafts which will be needed again, the main attraction will be the knowledge preserved within its walls, we must preserve them both. The world and the country as a whole need more places like this, we must support our local craftspeople and indusrty for the future.

| Message | Have always ben interested in water power,mainly for electricity production. Would like to call to see your installation this next Bank Holiday. end of May 08. Its nice to see that the old tried and tested power generation schemes are being ressurected into their rightful place. They should never have been "superceded by modern technology". The old methods worked and still do . Far better. Good luck and many more years running. |

| Message | Well done for completing the restoration! I will visit soon. Iwas lucky enough to meet Brian a few years ago, so sorry to hear he did not see the project complete. My Dad was still alive when Brian showed our whole family (three generations) around the unrestored mill. We were interested because researching our family tree led us to Gayle Mill where our ancester George worked. We were delighted to see George's self portarait and name on the beam! Priceless! Thankyou so much! |

| Message | Hello Friends, after the successful volunteer recruitment days in November, we now have over 70 enthusiastic helpers. Some have already become regulars doing a variety of tasks that are enabling us to get many tasks completed that need to be done prior to opening. Many thanks to all 14 volunteers who worked extremely hard on 27th December. Despite freezing wind and rain, wood was chopped and loaded into storage. Without this help we would have had a very cold start to the New Year. Tour guide training begins Saturday 2nd February. Any further volunteers who would like to register an interest can contact admin@gaylemill.org.uk  |

| Message | I was delighted to be at the members meeting last night. When I was chair of Upper Wensleydale Business Association I signed a letter to the Trust appealing for the mill to be a working mill once again, not a museum, craft centre, or apartments. I have over the years been disappointed with the lack of progress. That has been caused by the owners the Civic Trust North East, who employed coantactors from afr away and seemed have little control over them. Local support has been pateiemtly waiting and waiting. Last night after hearing the newly appointed manager, I really do believe things are now on track for opening Easter 2008. Wood is being sawn and used within the building. Green energy is in place. It now needs losts of free publicity by the public and by tht media to kick start the income it deserves. |
