Angling club - starting or running!

Patolagola

Hi all,

Last year I posted looking for some beta testers to help me find flaws in a site I was working on....

Since then we have done allot of work and changed our direction, we have decided to build the site around clubs....

Basically we created the site so clubs can be run only, and for free.

So here's the thing, I am looking for feedback again on how well the site works for a club.

We need clubs that are already up and running, and also people that would like to start a club. The platform is very simple and admins get full control of the content...

Hope to here some feedback soon.

I have activated Australia!.. Thank you Skipz.

Patolagola

Thank you again skipz, I seen your report added.


It has shown me that there was an issue with it displaying the icons and is now fixed.

Also did you have trouble with the sign up atoll?

Patolagola

I take it no clubs are interested in a free service?

Most pike and coarse clubs will not want details of good catch reports in their area publicised as this will result in poachers and other cowboys plundering their waters.

Patolagola

Thats fine, and I understand that. The carp community have the same issues, but go to any club site and they have pictures of fish caught on the club run????

Theres also SAC, sure look at the IFSA site, unreal how us Irish treat something we love so much.

Yep it's not easy to join a club and it should be. Clubs only survive as long as they have members.

I would like to help. I am chairman of the Irish Federation of Pike Angling Clubs. Under the data protection act I cant give you a list of our 70 affiliated clubs as I have no permission from the clubs to do this. We do have a calendar of competitions which is constantly being updated. You can access this on our message board but you must register as a member first. I wouldnt have any problem with you taking details of the competitions for your site. There are between 1 and 3 every weekend
