Angling Club Management Software for the UK

Membership Management & Junior Safeguarding

Managing fishing club memberships shouldn’t involve endless spreadsheets and envelopes of cash. With Clubnest, clubs of any size can take payments online, issue renewal reminders automatically, and export membership reports instantly for AGMs. Parents and guardians can manage multiple juniors in one account, complete consents, and update safeguarding details in seconds.

Automations include confirmation emails, renewal reminders, and invoice receipts. Tenancy separation ensures clubs can’t see each other’s data.

• ✔ Multi-child accounts & permissions
• ✔ Smart renewals & reminders
• ✔ Exportable reports (CSV/PDF)

Courses (Learning Management)

Build multi-step courses for beginner skills, water safety, fish care and match tactics. Upload PDFs, videos and checklists; award completion certificates and track progress over time.

Fishing Club Ticketing & QR Permit System

Issue day, night or season permits with fixed or rolling expiry. Each ticket includes a unique QR code that bailiffs can scan lakeside to check validity in real time — even on a phone with patchy signal.

PDF downloads for printers and wallet-friendly mobile views included.

Invoices & Payments

Clubnest removes the friction from billing. Create one-off or recurring invoices for memberships, coaching blocks, venue fees or sponsorships, and let the system handle receipts automatically. Each invoice has a clean, shareable link with a breakdown of items, due dates and payment history. When a payment lands, members and treasurers receive confirmations so there’s no chasing or guesswork.

Stripe powers card payments for reliability and speed. You can record offline payments (cash, bank transfer) to keep your accounts consistent. Refunds are handled from the same screen, and partial refunds are supported for real-world cases like session cancellations or no-shows. Export CSV/PDF for AGMs, auditors and funding applications with clear categorisation by product and date range.

• ✔ Itemised invoices with due dates and automatic receipts
• ✔ Stripe payments + manual (cash/BACS) reconciliation
• ✔ Partial/Full refunds and notes for context
• ✔ CSV/PDF exports filtered by date, category or payer
• ✔ Renewal nudges tied to invoices and membership status

Treasurers get the visibility they need—what’s outstanding, what’s paid, and where the money came from—without building spreadsheets. That reduces errors and helps committees make faster decisions.

Shop & Inventory

Sell club merchandise, fundraiser items, or add-ons like kit hire and bait vouchers. Create products with variants (size, colour), track simple stock levels, and bundle items with coaching or memberships when useful. Orders flow into the same finance area as tickets and coaching so your treasurer sees one coherent picture.

Products use clean slugs and images, with optional category pages for seasonal ranges or sponsor-supported merch. Checkout supports combined baskets (e.g., hoodie + day ticket) with a single receipt. Pick/pack notes speed up fulfilment, and you can mark items as collected at the bank or shipped to the buyer.

• ✔ Variants (sizes/colours) and basic stock tracking
• ✔ Combined checkout with tickets and bookings
• ✔ Order notes and fulfilment statuses
• ✔ Category pages and product SEO fields

Merch sales become a small but steady revenue stream—and everything reconciles cleanly with coaching and membership income.

Risk Assessments

Create clear, reusable risk assessment templates for venues, coaching sessions and matches. List hazards, mitigations, responsible roles and review dates, then attach assessments to each occurrence automatically. Coaches and bailiffs can access the right assessment from their phone—no more hunting through email attachments.

Version history preserves who changed what and when, so you can demonstrate a consistent approach to safety. Printable PDFs are available for insurers or venue partners, and your team can acknowledge they’ve reviewed the latest version with a single tap.

• ✔ Templates with hazards/controls and owners
• ✔ Cascades to recurring sessions and events
• ✔ Version history and acknowledgements
• ✔ Printer-friendly PDFs and mobile views

Good risk management builds trust with parents, hosts and funders—and frees coaches to focus on delivery.

Sponsors & Partners

Keep supporters visible in the right places: logos on match results, venue pages and coaching announcements. Tag a sponsor to a series or event and they’ll appear on the public page automatically. Use sponsor pages for longer stories—why they support you, what impact it funds, and how to get involved.

Clean placements are better than banner clutter. Clubnest emphasises brand safety and relevance, so partners are proud to share your links. Add UTM tags to outbound links if you want to track clicks in your analytics suite.

• ✔ Logo placements across results, venues and news
• ✔ Sponsor pages with copy, links and galleries
• ✔ Series/event tagging with automatic display
• ✔ Simple link tracking guidance (UTMs)

The result is a transparent value exchange: sponsors see visibility and outcomes; clubs get funding and kit for juniors.

CSV Importers

Moving from spreadsheets or a DIY toolset? Import members, family links, orders and venues with guided mapping. Validation catches common issues (missing emails, malformed dates) before they reach your database, and a dry-run shows how many rows will be created or updated. If something looks off, cancel and adjust your file—no harm done.

For members, you can attach juniors to guardians in one pass; for venues, you can bring in peg counts and base rules; for orders, you can load historical records to keep your year-on-year comparisons meaningful.

• ✔ Guided field mapping and validation
• ✔ Dry-run previews and safe rollbacks
• ✔ Members, orders and venues supported
• ✔ Clear error reports to fix data quickly

Most clubs are live in an afternoon—without losing history or creating duplicate accounts.
