Clubnest is free for clubs that don't charge members. If your club does charge, we reinvest 50% of revenue into grassroots angling development — because we’re anglers too.
With our open roadmap, you shape the platform’s future — designed alongside UK angling coaches and clubs.
Clubnest combines angling club management software, a modern fishing club website builder, and an integrated angling club membership system — so your organisers, coaches and bailiffs all work from the same simple dashboard.
From grassroots junior programmes to long-established angling associations, Clubnest has been built to serve every kind of organisation in the UK. For junior clubs and school initiatives, the platform makes it simple to handle consent forms, safeguarding records and parent-managed accounts so organisers can concentrate on coaching instead of chasing paperwork.
Angling associations and match fishing clubs can choose to benefit from digital peg draws, live weigh-in capture and instant leaderboards, helping to create exciting events that attract new members and sponsors. The platform also provides digital bailiff tools for ticket and permit validation, with every feature designed to meet GDPR compliance so that member and participant data is handled securely and responsibly.
Whether your goal is growing participation, strengthening community ties or simply saving time on administration, Clubnest provides a modern, affordable and purpose-built digital home for angling clubs of all sizes across the country.

Many clubs still try to manage everything with Excel sheets, Facebook chats, or WhatsApp groups. While these tools are fine for day-to-day communication, they fall short when it comes to compliance, growth, and long-term sustainability. Here’s why a dedicated club platform like Clubnest makes the difference:
Clubnest replaces piecemeal tools with a unified fishing club website builder, robust angling club management software and a reliable angling club membership system — reducing costs and admin while improving compliance.
Time-stamped registers, QR scans, attendance logs and full edit history you simply don’t get with a spreadsheet.
Consent forms, medical notes and incident reports stored securely in one place — with proper audit trails.
SEO-friendly pages for venues, fixtures, results and blogs help your club get found on Google and attract new members.
Unlike shared files or group chats, Clubnest is built with GDPR compliance in mind, helping prevent data breaches and misuse.
Automated renewals, reminders, payments and registers reduce admin time and let volunteers focus on coaching, not paperwork.
Move beyond Facebook groups — give your members a professional website and communication hub that builds trust and credibility.
No more hunting through emails or chats. Membership details, match results, risk assessments and tickets are all in one secure dashboard.
Online sign-ups, digital tickets, and easy-to-use tools mean parents and new anglers can get involved with just a few clicks.
Spreadsheets get lost and admins move on. A club platform keeps everything structured and sustainable for years to come.
