Why Most Fishing Club Software Fails — and How We’re Doing Things Differently
Most club management tools weren’t built for anglers. They’re clunky, expensive, and try to force fishing clubs into one-size-fits-all systems meant for gyms or golf courses. At Clubnest, we’re changing that.
1. Software That Gets It
Fishing clubs aren’t like other clubs. You deal with bailiffs, peg allocation, night tickets, safeguarding logs, waiting lists, junior sessions, and lakes that don’t fit neatly on a calendar.
That’s why Clubnest was designed in partnership with real UK fishing clubs — with tools tailored for your world, not someone else's.
2. Built for Volunteers
Most club admins aren’t tech experts. They’re coaches, committee members, or lifelong anglers volunteering their time.
We made sure Clubnest is easy to use, quick to learn, and flexible enough that anyone can manage members, take payments, and run events — even from a phone on the bank.
3. Transparent Pricing, No Gotchas
Some platforms charge based on member numbers. Others lock key features behind premium tiers. Clubnest is different.
-
Free for clubs that don’t charge members
-
5% fee for paid clubs — with 50% reinvested into grassroots angling
-
£25/mo flat for large organisations, with 3% transaction fees
That’s it. No upsells. No nonsense.
4. Unlimited Growth, No Limits
Whether your club has 20 members or 200,000, Clubnest gives you the same full-featured platform.
Unlimited members. Unlimited pages. Unlimited bookings. We want clubs to grow — not get punished for it.
5. We’re Anglers Too
We're not a faceless tech startup. We’re anglers, coaches, parents, and committee members — just like you. That’s why we publish our open roadmap, and why user feedback directly shapes every new feature we release.
Conclusion:
Clubnest isn’t just club management software. It’s a digital platform built to help angling thrive — on your terms. Whether you run a junior coaching scheme, manage a private syndicate, or oversee a national organisation, Clubnest is here to support your mission.
