What actually keeps a club running

A website is the shop window. The work is elsewhere: keeping the membership list, collecting the dues, knowing who has paid, writing to everyone without forgetting anyone.

That is what most clubs do by hand, across three different tools and a spreadsheet.

WAOU does it in one place, and it is included in the €300.

Your forms take the money. Membership form, course booking, order: you lay out the fields, you switch payment on, and the money comes in. Cheques and cash are ticked off by hand, with a note for you.

Your list keeps itself. Every member enters it through the form, with their record and their status — up to date, due for renewal, expired. You filter on "to chase" and you know who to call.

Your letters go out from here. You write, you choose who to, you send. Unsubscribes look after themselves, and your list costs nothing as it grows.
