Find Out How Club News Can Help Your Club
What is Club News?
Club News is a fully managed email newsletter service for sports clubs. We design, schedule, and send your club’s regular email updates so your committee can communicate clearly and consistently with members without the hassle of building or managing emails.
Who is Club News for?
Club News is designed for volunteer-run sports clubs, including GAA, LGFA, Camogie, soccer, rugby, golf clubs, and other community sports organisations. If your club regularly shares fixtures, results, announcements, or events with members, Club News can help streamline and professionalise that communication.
How does the service work?
Each week, your club submits its updates through a simple online form. We then design a professional, branded newsletter and send it to your members on an agreed day. No email software, design tools, or technical setup is required from your club.
How much time does it take for our club each week?
Most clubs spend between 15 and 20 minutes per week submitting their content. There is no need for volunteers to format emails, manage mailing lists, or schedule sends, as all of this is handled by Club News.
Will the newsletter match our club branding?
Yes. Each club receives a custom-branded newsletter using its club colours, crest, and a consistent layout. This ensures your emails look professional and are instantly recognisable to members.
Can we include sponsors or advertisements in the newsletter?
Yes. Each newsletter includes space for a local sponsor or advertisement. Many clubs use this to cover the cost of the service or generate additional fundraising income, and clubs keep 100 percent of any sponsorship revenue they raise.
How do members sign up to receive the newsletter?
Your club is provided with a unique sign-up link that can be shared through WhatsApp groups, your club website, social media, or via QR codes on match days. Guidance is also provided to help clubs grow their mailing list over time.
Is Club News GDPR compliant?
Yes. All sign-up forms, data storage, and email communications follow GDPR best practices. Members must opt in to receive emails and can unsubscribe at any time, ensuring data is handled responsibly and transparently.
Who owns and manages the email list?
Club News manages the email list on behalf of the club to ensure compliance and consistency. Your club retains full visibility of the list and engagement data, and the mailing list is used solely for club-related communication.
How do we get started?
To get started, simply register your interest through the website or contact us directly. We will arrange a short call to understand your club’s needs, explain the process, and confirm the next steps.
