Creating a fixture with Bowlr is quick and easy, it's made with club selectors and captains in mind. Just enter the match name, date, time, and location. Choose whether it’s a home or away game and mark the match type. Once saved, it’s live in your club diary for everyone to see.
If your club already uses Bowlr’s Booking & Calendar Module, your match data automatically syncs with rink availability. This way, you can avoid duplicate bookings and diary confusion. You can set up future fixtures, handle rescheduling, and keep organised.
Once your match is scheduled, sending out invites is simple. With a single click, you can notify all members, pre-set groups or select individual players. Players receive instant email notifications and confirm their availability via the Member Portal.
No more WhatsApp threads, phone calls, or having to post team sheets on the clubhouse board. Everything updates automatically in your dashboard, giving you a real-time view of who’s playing, who’s declined, and who hasn’t yet responded.
Need to give someone a nudge? You can send follow-up messages or reminders straight from the system without switching tabs or manually chasing. It’s all built-in. At Bedford Borough Bowling Club, switching to Bowlr's system eliminated manual scheduling. What previously took two weeks now takes just a day and a half, and they have effectively streamlined their administrative tasks.
“Working with b4b to develop our very own customisable version of Bowlr has been an exciting time for BBBC and we’re very much enjoying working with the system. It has dramatically reduced the administration effort our staff has to put in to ensure the smooth running of our busy club and our members have been impressed at how easy it is to book rinks themselves. Our new website enables them to stay much more up to date with scores and general happenings at the club.”
John McConnell, Club Manager
Availability responses are logged and updated live. Selectors and captains can see precisely who’s in, who’s out, and who still needs to reply. Best of all, they don’t even need to open a spreadsheet.
Select a team in just a few clicks:
Captains can handle invites and player lists directly. Club selectors, however, have complete visibility and control from behind the scenes. Do you need a printed register for matchday? Download the player list or use your phone or tablet to mark off attendees at the clubhouse. With Bowlr’s mobile-friendly layout, you’re always ready for matches.
Unlike one-size-fits-all club software, Bowlr was explicitly built for bowls clubs. Each feature in the Availability Module shows how selectors and captains operate. It covers all types of club matches.
Match types are colour-coded for quick reference. If some members prefer a call over email, that’s fine, too; you can still log responses manually to keep everything in sync.
The Availability Module isn’t just an admin tool; it’s a communication hub for your club. Club selectors and captains can manage fixtures and message players in one place. Members always know what’s happening, as there’s no confusion or crossed wires.
Desborough Bowls Club embraced Bowlr's complete set of modules, like the Availability Module, to aid their club management. This integration has significantly reduced administrative time and enhanced member experience.
“With plans to move into a state-of-the-art club in 2019, Integrating an efficient bowls management software like Bowlr made perfect sense considering the modern direction our club was heading in.”
Roger Wyatt, on behalf of Desborough Bowls Club
