Dear Sir,
After many years of great service, Heighington St. Michael’s Church clock winder and flag raiser has decided to retire at the end of June, and we are looking for a replacement. What is involved? The clock is wound by a handle, and it needs winding once a week. There are 3 sets of clock weights, and it takes about 15 minutes of hard work to wind it.
The flag needs raising on around 12 occasions a year. This means raising it early in the morning and taking it down in the evening, although sometimes it can be left up for several days in succession. You will need to be over 18, physically able and comfortable with climbing multiple ladders and working at height. A small honorarium will be paid. If you would be interested in taking on this role, please contact Chris Enzor on 07956 064580 by 15 May 2023.
