New Feature: Share Your Club Instantly with a QR Code!

Have you ever been asked by a member of the public for more information about your club whilst you were out training? Good news! In the upcoming app update, your members will be able to simply show people your club's new QR Code, which will display in the club information section of the connectMyClub app.

This QR Code is a fantastic, simple way for your members to direct people instantly to your club’s website, or other specified link.

How to Get Your Club QR Code


Setting this up is quick and easy:

If your club hasn't already, upload an SVG version of your club logo.

Add your club’s web address or the QR code link in the club setup section of your connectMyClub portal.

Why an SVG Logo?


The system generates SVG QR Codes, which is a scalable format. This means the QR Code can be scaled up to any size without pixelating, ensuring it looks professional whether it’s on a phone screen or a large poster.

Free Download for Marketing


Once generated, your club can download the QR Code, free of charge, to use on flyers, posters, and other artwork that your club may produce. It's a powerful tool for your marketing efforts!

Enhance Community and Safety: New Non-Member Option for Training Groups

We're excited to announce a powerful new option for your training groups, designed to support your club's community engagement and enhance safety: the "Allow Non-Club Members" toggle switch.

This feature was inspired by clubs hosting relaxed, social run groups—like Northbrook AC's  "Run together" initiative—during winter months, where the focus is on camaraderie rather than structured training. These groups encourage participation from unaffiliated runners and members of other clubs.

The primary driver for this update is safety. Enabling this toggle will, in the upcoming app release allow external participants to tap into your group, providing leaders with instant access to their crucial In Case of Emergency (ICE) details during the session.

How it Works
You will find the new toggle switch within the settings for each training group.

Important Safety Guardrails

To protect the integrity of your club's main training sessions, this feature cannot be enabled if the selected group has any of the following restrictions:

  • Limited places or capacity caps
  • Associated costs or fees
  • Gender restrictions
  • Age restrictions

We believe this feature will be highly valuable for building community and ensuring participant safety during your more relaxed, informal sessions.

Important Update on the Next connectMyClub App Release

We have an update regarding the next connectMyClub app release.


We are currently working on a major app update. There's a small delay because we're awaiting essential updates for a few third-party plugins, which became necessary after a recent Android operating system update. We are using this waiting period to perform a full, strategic overhaul of the app's entire underlying code.

What This Means for Your Club


This comprehensive code refresh is focused on delivering a smoother, more powerful experience:

Faster, Modern Loading: Say goodbye to those slow, outdated page loading spinners. You can look forward to a much smoother and quicker experience across the entire app.

Highly Requested Features: We are integrating several key updates you've asked for, including image saving, and the ability to add additional member notes for calendar events.

Resolving Complex Bugs: We are dedicated to finding and fixing reported bugs. We appreciate your patience, as the most challenging issues are those we cannot consistently replicate on our internal testing devices, but we are committed to their resolution.

While we understand delays are never ideal, this deep dive into the code will result in a more robust, stable, and future-proof platform for your club's operations.

We will provide a precise launch date as soon as the third-party plugin updates are confirmed.

Thank you for your continued support, and we're excited to deliver this improved version soon.

Important update on connectMyClub subscriptions

We are excited to announce a significant change to our subscription model designed to make connectMyClub more accessible and flexible for clubs of all sizes. We've reduced the minimum number of member licences required for new and additional subscriptions.


Here are the key changes:


  • Annual Club Subscriptions: The minimum requirement has been reduced from 50 licences to 10 licences. We've made this change to better support smaller, and often newer, clubs and enable them to grow with our platform.
  • Additional Licenses: The minimum number of licences you can add to an existing subscription has been lowered from 25 to 5.

Unlike some generic club management platforms, we don’t claim to be free. Our business model is focused on long-term sustainability, allowing us to invest in our platform and protect your club's privacy. As an independent company, we are committed to providing you with a high-quality, trustworthy service.


We believe these adjustments will help more clubs benefit from our platform and we’re committed to continually improving our service to meet your needs.

Announcing Enhanced Customisation for Websites Powered by connectMyClub

We're pleased to announce a significant upgrade to websites powered by connectMyClub, giving you even more control over your club's online presence.

This update introduces powerful new customisation options within the website feature, allowing you to tailor your site's appearance like never before:


  • Expanded Font Selection: As well as your current club colours and existing header options, you can now choose from a variety of fonts for both your page headings/quotes and the main page copy.
  • New Background Options: While the standard off-white page background remains available, you can now select from four shades of light grey or apply a textured background from our new selection.

We think these enhancements will empower you to create a truly unique and distinctive club website, helping your club stand out from the crowd and reflect its individual style.

NEW FEATURE: Congratulate your members on their PBs by email

We're excited to inform you about a new feature designed to support your club in recognising member achievements.

You now have the option to automatically send a congratulatory email to your members when they achieve a personal best (PB) in a race. This automation can help streamline your recognition process.

Here's how this new feature can benefit your club:


  • Timely Recognition: Members can receive prompt acknowledgement for their efforts.
  • Support Member Engagement: Acknowledge member progress and contributions.
  • Streamlined Process: This feature can reduce the need for manual tracking and individual email sending
  • Foster Club Spirit: Recognising achievements can contribute to a positive club environment.


How to get started:

To implement this feature, head over to Subscriptions & Credits on the club portal. Under the Premium Bolt-ons section, you will see Personal Best Emails. After your club purchases this bolt-on, any member who records a PB for a race on their Upcoming Events calendar will receive a club branded congratulatory email.

We hope this feature will be a useful addition to your club's operations.
