- Annual Report
We look back on a difficult start of the year. Due to the COVID-19 restrictions we were not able to meet live. We therefore organized the first 5 events online:
We kickoff the year in November with the, “On-line with Wine” event. Great wines from Wijn aan De Kade where send to members’ homes. The Month thereafter we organized an online Pubquiz in December. We kicked off the year 2021 with the online beer tasting from brewery Vet&Lazy. Followed by a magic night with Jochem Nooyen in February. HNY Basement teaches us the fine tricks of creating great cocktails in March.
In April 2021 the COVID rules started to loosen up. We were able to organize a “Walking Link” event. A walk around the Kralingseplas. Continued in May with the Tasty Walk in the city center of Rotterdam. We were throwing Kubbs on the Noordplein in June at the Container Bar. The first event inside a venue was in July, the 1st. We organized an event at GaleriAAA. In August we had a tremendous dinner at Grand Café De Dijk. Captains Cabin took care of us in September with herring and wines.
Despite the COVID pandemic we succeeded the difficult year to have every month a get together, online in the beginning and later live.
- Financial Annual Report
This year we have spent about 8.000,- euro to events, about 1.500,- euro to general costs and we have received about 18.000 euro,- from our members.
Due to the COVID-19 measurements and all the online events we have organized this year we have not spend the amount of money that we have received from our members. This has made it possible to make a reservation of 4.000,- euro for our next lustrum party. This reservation, together with the reservation of last year, it makes it a total of 7.000,- euro which is reserved. The rest of the money we have not spend last year can be spend the upcoming year to some bigger events.
