Gilde van Vrijwillige Molenaars
The Gilde van Vrijwillige Molenaars ((英語:''Guild of Volunteer Millers'')) is a Dutch society of volunteer millers who operate many of the Dutch wind- and watermills. The main goal of the society is to help with the preservation of Dutch windmills by training new millers to run wind- and watermills on a voluntary basis.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Het Gilde van Vrijwillige Molenaars )〕
==History==
The number of windmills in the Netherlands had been declining since their task was being taken over by steam, diesel and electric powered machinery against which they could not compete. Attempts to protect and modernise windmills by De Hollandsche Molen in the first half of the twentieth century had slowed the decline somewhat until by the 1960s funds became available for the restoration, repair and upkeep to save the remaining windmills. It had however become very difficult to impossible to commercially operate a mill and the number of aging professional millers rapidly declined threatening the loss of miller skills and knowledge and condemning functional mills to a standstill. A group of windmill enthusiasts therefor set up a miller training course for people willing to operate mills during their free time. In this way the knowledge of professional millers could be passed on and volunteer millers became available to operate the newly restored windmills. This initiative led to the foundation of the ''Gilde van Vrijwillige Molenaars'' in 1972. Since then close to 1500 have successfully finished the course.〔 In 1975 volunteer millers in Friesland split off to form the Gild Fryske Mounders.
