G.S.Z. Mayday

G.S.Z. Mayday’s app is live! The Groningen student sailing club adds both sailing events and social gatherings to the calendar, and members register via the link to Congressus. Using the In-app Manager, the committee can send a push notification to all members at the touch of a button.

Groningen Student Sailing Club Mayday

The Groningen Student Sailing Club Mayday was founded in 1994 and describes itself as the only sailing society in the Netherlands. Its clubhouse is the Nicolaas Mulerius, a 26-metre clipper that is usually moored in the centre of Groningen. On Lake Paterswoldsemeer, members sail in ‘valken’, whilst the programme also includes clipper races, Sneekweek and the Wadden Weeks. On Tuesdays and Thursdays, there are drinks on board the Nico.

With Mayday, another sailing club has joined Youmie, and that’s no coincidence: sailing clubs find the app very easy to use! For student sailing clubs that currently manage registrations via their website and separate channels, Youmie is developing a members’ app in which the Congressus integration ensures that registrations on the website and the app are kept in sync.

Featured features

The G.S.Z. Mayday app includes many of the features made possible by Youmie technology. Here are a few examples!

Photo album

Mayday keeps photos from the season in the photo album. Members can browse through albums organised by activity and look back at what happened on the water and on board the Nico. Everything is in the app, so no one has to search through separate group chats for that one photo anymore.

News and events

The home screen brings together the latest news and the next upcoming event. Members can read recent messages from the committee and see straight away what activities are coming up. This way, everyone knows what’s going on within the club, even those who only open the app now and then.

Events calendar

The calendar lists all of Mayday’s activities by month, from competitions to socials. Members can see straight away whether there’s still space and who else is going, and find their own bookings with a single tap. This helps them keep track of the whole season.

G.S.V.V. Donitas

From now on, the members of G.S.V.V. Donitas have their own app. The Groningen student volleyball club lists all its teams in the almanac and posts the fixture list under ‘Documents’ in the ‘More’ menu. The committee uses polls to quickly gauge members’ views on new ideas, so that everyone knows what’s going on.
