Club Organiser software continues to grow, and as it's an all-inclusive price of £14.95 a month (less than £180 per year) for everyone, regardless of club/business size. If you do incur any extra charges (SMS messaging/above excess emails) then it's because your club have used them - we don't expect our clients to pay for things that other clubs use.

As we are still receiving requests from different club/business types, our expansion is ongoing and some of the features we're currently working on include:

Ability for athletes to confirm availability for meets and teams etc.
Automatically notify swimmers and the club of potential new club records (swimming clubs only)
