For sports and running groups

Let people nearby join your next session.

A Tuesday run along the canal or a five-a-side on Thursday. Each session is an event in your group, so people nearby see it under What's on and can say I'm in. You see how many to expect.

How it works

A group in three steps.

A group is small and flat. It has a name, the area it meets in, a few lines about what you do and the next event.

1

Start the group

Give it a name, a short description and a photo. Say what it is about, such as running, cooking or music, and which area it meets in.

2

Add the next event

Date, time, place and a short description. Group events show up in What's on for people nearby.

3

People join and say I'm in

Anyone nearby can join with one tap and say I'm in to the events they want to come to. Each event shows you how many to expect.

A Tuesday, as an example

How a run club might use it.

Imagine a run group that meets at the canal at seven. The group page has a name, a photo and a line about the pace. Each week someone adds the next run as an event, with the meeting point and the distance. Neighbours see it under What's on and tap I'm in, and the count tells the organiser how many to wait for.

Events that repeat are on our list, so for now each run is added by hand. This is an illustration, not a result.

From a desk

Set it up at a desk if you like.

Groups can be created and looked after in the web console as well. That helps when one person does the setting up for the whole club.

Where this is going

Not there yet, on our list.

Some of these may not be available yet, and none of them has a date.

Coming

Events that repeat

The Tuesday run, set up once and repeated every week. People only ever see the next one.

Coming

A waiting list

When a class is full, people can join a queue. If someone drops out, the next in line gets the place, and there are no messages for you to sort.

Coming

When training moves

If the hall is shut or training moves, everyone who said I'm in hears about it before they set off.

Before you plan around it

What snakken does not do for your club.

No membership admin

Dues, membership records and match reports stay in the tools your club already uses. snakken covers the part the neighbourhood sees, which is where you meet and when.

No paid reach

Groups and their events reach the people around them. Nobody can pay to reach people further away or to pick who sees them.

No tickets, no payments

Selling tickets for the summer concert? Keep using the shop you have. Payments are not part of snakken.

Questions from people who run clubs.

Does the group need a pitch or a venue as a place?

No. The meeting point is a line of text on the event, like the bridge at the canal. A group does not need a place of its own.

Who can start a group?

Anyone. Whoever starts it owns the group, and any member can add an event to it. Groups and their events show up for people in the area around them.

Can a club have several groups?

Yes. Start one for each team or circle. To look after them together, create an organisation in the web console, and write to us if you want a hand.

Do members need the app?

Yes. People join a group and answer I'm in on its events in the app.

What does it cost?

Nothing is decided yet, so there is no price list. If your club has to know before a members' meeting, write to us.
