The bailiff app for clubs and fisheries
Bailiffs are usually volunteers walking a bank with patchy signal and a list of names on paper. Clubside's bailiff mode turns their phone into a card checker that knows who is a member, who has a ticket, and who the committee has asked them to look out for.
Scan a card in seconds
Members and ticket holders show the QR code on their phone. The bailiff scans it and gets an immediate result: valid, expired or not found, with the member's name and photo so a borrowed phone does not get anyone through. Because the QR code on a membership card rotates, a screenshot of someone else's card does not work.
Member flags for the committee
The committee can add private flags to members — a VIP, a warning after a rule breach, or a ban. When a bailiff scans a flagged member, they see the flag. Members never see flags about themselves.
Signal on the bank
Plenty of good fishing is out of mobile range, so it is worth being straight about this: today a scan needs a data connection to confirm a card against the club's records. Fully offline checking — saving scans with no signal and sending them later — is on the Clubside roadmap and is not live yet. Until then, most clubs check cards in the car park or at the gate, where signal is usually better.
A log of every check
Each scan is logged with the time and the result, so the club has a record of patrols, who was on the bank and any problems found. That record is useful when a dispute comes up, and it shows members that checks really happen.
Water checks on the same walk
Bailiffs can record dissolved oxygen and water temperature readings on their rounds. Clubside's fish welfare alerts use those readings, alongside the weather, to warn the committee when conditions get risky for the stock.
Price
£7.99 a month or £95.88 a year for the club. £1 per member per year, added at renewal — or the club can prepay for all its members so members pay nothing extra. No fee on day tickets or club shop items.
