Background

Chester RUFC is one of the most successful rugby clubs in Cheshire, with almost 1,300 members. Founded in 1925, Chester RUFC has played a central role in the local community for many years and has continued to go from strength to strength since then.

We spoke to Gemma Morton, Mini’s and Juniors Communications Manager, about the challenges Chester RUFC faced before using LoveAdmin and how we’ve worked together to help solve them.

The Challenge

Chester RUFC were growing quickly, and with over 20 teams to manage, so was their admin. They needed to find a software that could simplify and automate their admin tasks, boost their payment collections, enhance their communications, and grow with them.

In September 2022, they discovered LoveAdmin’s powerful club management software. Our software helps sports clubs easily manage members, collect payments, and communicate effectively across the club.

It’s also great that we can track payments and put people into the correct groups. We have a much more responsive and up-to-date system, to access all our information quickly and easily.
