Why Clubnest?

Why clubs leave spreadsheets behind

Excel and WhatsApp groups work until they don't. Here's what Clubnest replaces.

Safeguarding & compliance

Consent forms, medical notes and audit trails in one secure place — not scattered across email threads and WhatsApp groups.

Growth & visibility

SEO-ready pages rank on Google. New members find your fishery, fixtures and venues without you lifting a finger.

Automation

Renewals, reminders, payments and registers run themselves — giving your volunteers time back for actual fishing.

What clubs say

Trusted by clubs who love
fishing, not admin

Simple, transparent pricing

Clubnest is
FREE.

If your club runs free events, Clubnest costs nothing. If you take payments, we charge a 5% fee — and 2.5% of that goes directly back into grassroots angling.

Questions answered

Frequently asked questions

How long does it take to set up?

Most clubs are live in under 15 minutes. Register, upload your logo and publish your first pages.

Do we have to pay?

Not if your events are free. If you take payments, we charge 5% (with 2.5% going to grassroots). No monthly fees.

Can parents manage children?

Yes. Family accounts let one guardian manage multiple juniors and bookings.

How do payments work?

Stripe processes all payments directly to your club's account. Clubnest never holds your funds.

Do you support QR permits for bailiffs?

Yes. Each ticket/permit has a unique QR code for instant lakeside validation.

Can we publish match results & leaderboards?

Absolutely — with digital weigh-ins, peg draws and auto-ranking across series.

Is Clubnest SEO friendly?

Extremely. Schema markup, canonicals, sitemaps and fast pages are built-in.

Can we showcase our waters & venues?

Yes — create venue pages with maps, photos, rules, access and booking links.

What support is available?

Email and live chat support, plus setup guides and onboarding help.

Who owns our club's data?

You do. Content, members and booking data belong to your club.

Is Clubnest a website, management tool or membership system?

Clubnest is all three. It includes a fishery website builder for your public site, fishing club management software for day-to-day operations, and an angling membership system for sign-ups, renewals and payments — all connected.

Can fisheries use Clubnest to sell day tickets and manage waters?

Yes. Commercial fisheries use Clubnest to sell day, night and season permits online with QR codes for bailiff validation. You can create venue pages for each lake with maps, species lists, rules and booking links.

Does Clubnest support fishing holiday bookings?

Yes. Fisheries with lodges, cabins or camping can set up holiday units with seasonal rates, deposit management (fixed, percentage or full), availability control and Stripe payments.

Is Clubnest suitable for syndicates and private waters?

Absolutely. Syndicates benefit from waiting lists, private member dashboards, night permits, catch records and secure communications. No more managing your syndicate through WhatsApp groups.

Can members swap or exchange permits between waters?

Yes. The ticket swap marketplace lets members exchange permits between clubs and waters — a unique feature for associations and syndicates with multiple venues.

Can we run courses and issue certificates?

Yes. The built-in learning management system supports multi-step courses with quizzes, certificates and enrolment tracking — ideal for coaching qualifications, CastForLife programmes and angling education.
