For hobby, craft and special-interest clubs

For every club built around a shared passion.

Chess clubs, photo societies, car and motorcycle clubs, model engineers, gardening groups, woodworkers and makers — ClubHelix handles your members, events, workshops, shop and newsletter on one platform.

Why committees of hobby clubs come to us

The same problems show up in every committee meeting. ClubHelix is built to retire each one for good.

  • Memberships renewed via PayPal links emailed once a year.
  • Workshop sign-ups in a Google Form with no waitlist.
  • Newsletter sent via the chairperson's personal Gmail.
  • No public site that does justice to the community you've built.
  • Event entry fees collected in cash with no record.

What ClubHelix does for hobby clubs

The platform mapped onto the moments your year actually runs on.

  1. Annual memberships

    Self-serve renewal with full, associate, family, junior and concession categories — Stripe Connect for payment, automatic reminders before lapse, and a clean list of who's paid.

  2. Workshops and meetings

    Regular meetings and workshops as recurring events with capacity caps and waitlists. Personalised ICS feed per member — venue changes push in seconds.

  3. Annual show or exhibition

    Native ticketing for annual shows, exhibitions, swap meets or open days — assigned slots, partner tickets, dietary, all on your own site with no third-party fees.

  4. Club shop

    Club shop for merchandise, member-only gear, second-hand member listings or curated supplies — with size and variant tracking.

  5. Member newsletter

    Monthly newsletter broadcast to members or the wider mailing list. Send from your own clubname@yourclub.org on Pro and Enterprise, with subscriber preference centre.

  6. Member directory and projects

    Members publish project pages, photo galleries or workshop reports through the same editor that runs the club site — with consent controls and a clean public profile.

Frequently asked

The questions hobby club committees ask before signing up.

Is ClubHelix overkill for a small hobby club?
No — the free tier covers a single club with a public site, members and email. You can grow into paid plans as you need custom domains, more storage or a custom sender.
Can we run an umbrella association of hobby clubs?
Yes. An association sits one tier above member clubs, with cascading branding, a cross-club directory and centralised reporting.
Do you support paid workshops with waitlists?
Yes. Each workshop is a paid event with capacity, waitlist and a refund window. Stripe Connect handles the payment, and the attendee list is visible to the coordinator in real time.
Can we sell second-hand member listings via the shop?
You can run a club-curated shop with member-listed items, where the club takes a small commission and the listing rolls off when the item sells. Full peer-to-peer marketplace is out of scope.
