The All-in-One Bowls Club Management System
When you’re juggling with everyday life and running a bowls club, it's not just about roll-ups and rink bookings. It’s about keeping the whole operation running smoothly behind the scenes. From tracking payments and managing member data to updating league results, there’s a lot to stay on top of. As we know, it’s mostly volunteers who run committees, so time is rarely on your side. After all, according to Sports England’s survey, nearly 10.5 million adults volunteer to support sport and physical activity. So, any extra admin time needs to matter.
Here’s a closer look at how analytics helps your club grow.
Keeping track of who’s paid, who’s playing, and who might be slipping away shouldn’t take hours each week. Bowlr’s membership management module provides club secretaries with a live overview of member status, including subscription payments and membership types (full, junior, social, life, etc.).
With this data at your fingertips, you can:
By improving how you communicate with members, and when you do, you create a more personal and proactive club experience. This module isn’t just about saving admin time (though it does that, too); it’s about showing members they’re valued. When reporting on their own club management software, Club Matters, Sport England found that proactive communication was one of the top three factors in improving member retention across community sports clubs.
Leagues aren’t just for fun; they’re one of the clearest indicators of club activity. Bowlr’s league management module updates tables automatically and stores every match and result. This way, you’re afforded a complete picture of how your club’s teams are performing.
For committee members, this means:
Over time, these records lead to better choices for team selection, event scheduling, and coaching priorities. This allows you to collect both scores and stories that demonstrate your club’s growth and thriving.
“The advantages to us of the Bowlr Management System are the ability to compile leagues of varying types and create league fixtures at the push of a button – giving an even spread of games across all six rinks.”
Selecting teams used to mean chasing phone calls and scribbling on paper registers. With Bowlr’s availability module, selectors get a one-click attendance report, ready to print or export, before each match.
This allows you to:
Operational data like this isn’t just for tidiness. It reduces stress, ensures fairness, and keeps match days running smoothly. Some clubs using Bowlr’s pre-match availability reports tell us they’ve reduced selection administration by up to 60%.
One of the great benefits of Bowlr’s all-in-one bowls club management system is how each module contributes to the bigger picture. Finance, membership, availability, and league data aren’t trapped in silos, but talk to each other.
For example:
This integration offers a complete 360° view of club activity. It helps committees make informed decisions based on real-time data instead of guesswork.
Growing a bowls club requires clear insight. Reliable analytics display income trends, member participation, and rink usage.
Bowlr keeps these figures in one place through its all-in-one bowls club management system. Committee members can check bookings, track finances, and see league participation all on one dashboard. This makes decisions more straightforward and quicker. Want to see how it works for yourself?
