Annual General Meeting 2 February 2022
President’s Report
2021 has been another extraordinary year in the history of the Club. In a second year running the coronavirus pandemic impacted on all our lives and indeed the affairs of the Club.
Alas, for Stamford Kiwanis it meant further meetings with Zoom and little social contact.
Fortunately, the relaxation of restrictions in the second half of the year enabled us to run the Bonfire & Fireworks event and the Father Christmas tours. A combined effort by all the Club’s members, friends and family together with the enthusiastic support of the townsfolk of Stamford and surrounding villages saw record levels of support achieving record levels of fund raising.
So, out of a pretty torrid time the Club emerged financially very sound and maintained a strong and supportive membership.
In 2021 we again enjoyed financial support from both Hanson Cement and Burghley Estates and regular media coverage from the Stamford Mercury . We embraced social media to effectively promote our events and invested well in card readers, proving highly successful at the Bonfire night.
We made a substantial donation to a local charity and thanks to a significant private donor, we were able to provide £11,000 worth laptops to local schools with children needing to work from home.
Gratefully, the end of 2021 saw the return of ‘normal’ meetings both Business meetings and Dinner meetings, hopefully, it is a positive sign for our future.

Community Chest Balance sheet 2021 - EoY reviewed
Hi Jeff, I've reviewed the accounts as presented & have no issues. Looks like you had more reconciliations to do for the year, with increased PayPal transactions, etc. However, everything appears correct.
