They enjoy a drink at G.S.Z. Mayday on board the Nico, a 26-metre clipper in the heart of Groningen. The latest addition is their own app. The Groningen Student Sailing Club was founded in 1994 and describes itself as the only sailing society in the Netherlands. Its members sail in ‘valken’ on Lake Paterswoldsemeer, take part in clipper races and Sneekweek, and go on Wadden Sea sailing trips.
Three features of the app stand out at Mayday:
- Calendar: both sailing events and social gatherings are listed in the calendar. Members can see at a glance when there’s sailing and when the bar on board the Nico opens.
- Registration via Congressus: members register for events via the app. Thanks to the link with Congressus, registrations on the website and in the app are always synchronised.
- Push notifications via the In-app Manager: the committee can send a push notification to all members from within the app at the touch of a button. This means an announcement appears on everyone’s phone straight away!
For a club that spends just as much time on the water as it does at the bar, it’s great to have everything in one place. Read more about the app in our case study! Youmie creates member apps for student sailing clubs that currently manage events and registrations across their website and separate group apps, featuring a calendar where sailing and socialising come together.
