Section D Achievements and performance
Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year
SHOW CANCELLED DUE TO COVID 19
CHAIRMANS REPORT
2021 was once again an unusual year. At our 2020 AGM we agreed our intention to hold a show as usual on the last Saturday of August 2021.
However in January 2021 it became increasingly apparent that Covid 19 would present too great a risk to the community and the potential government restrictions would present considerable difficulties in firmly committing to the work required to run the show. As such we unanimously agreed to cancel once again.
This proved to be a sensible decision. In making the decision at that time we were again able to avoid any costs associated with putting on a show. We also were able to avoid any unnecessary work either for ourselves or our clients.
As a consequence of not holding the Show we were sadly unable to raise money for the chosen charity for 2021, which was due to be Riding for the Disabled.
We remain fully committed to holding a show in 2022 if circumstances permit.

|---|---|
| Brief statement of the charity’s policy on reserves Details of any funds materially in deficit |
The Bilsdale Agricultural Show Society reserve is held in a business bank account and used to pay for any necessary capital investment. In addition to this we hold a linked but separate current Community account for the purpose of setting up and running the annual show. Money will be transferred from the current account into our reserve account when the balance exceeds the amount required for the running of the annual show. This will be reviewed on an ongoing basis by the treasurer and any transfers agreed by the trustees and committee. |
| Small deficit due to maintenance spend and lack of show day and sponsorship income |
Further financial review details (Optional information)
| Youmay chooseto include additional information, where relevant about: • the charity’s principal sources of funds (including any fundraising); • how expenditure has supported the key objectives of the charity; • investment policy and objectives including any ethical investment policy adopted. |
Our Primary source of income is from entry ticket / gate sales on show day. In addition we receive donations from individuals involved in the show for example; competitors and local residents. Lastly we are reliant on the incredible sponsorship and support provided by local companies. In 2021 due to the show cancellation because of Covid 19, no monies or sponsorship were received in relation to a 2021 event. Income came from outstanding invoices paid after the end of the financial year. |
