Milling in Northern Europe

摘要

In 1972 a group of volunteers set up Gilde van Vrijwillige Molenaars in the Netherlands. This "guild of volunteer millers" (http://tinyurl.com/ oe6bx69) runs training courses and provides proficiency certificates, which are required by most Dutch mills. In the UK in 1987,1 helped to set up the Traditional Cornmillers Guild for professional millers operating traditional wind or water-powered flourmills, and this is still going strong (http://www. tcmg.org.uk/).
