There is a need for a software package that caters for Australian fishing clubs.
There are a few in the US but they don’t relate to our club and competition scene.
There are basically three types of clubs in Qld:
Those that fish under SQAFCA (or a variation of) rules.
Those that fish under ANSA (or a variation of) rules.
And those that make up their own rules.
This makes it a little difficult for a software package to be everything to all.
A discussion on this subject between myself and Tony (TonyM), author of FishingBuddy, has reached the planning stage – hence the reason for this post.
My idea was to have it job based – IE: the front page has icons for
Weigh Master
Club recorder
Secretary
Treasurer
Etc etc.
The reason for this post
We need input from those that have been involved in fishing clubs as to what is needed, as well as a wish list of things that you would like included.
Some ideas that come to mind are:
Membership list - that includes birthday, membership fees due, type of membership (family, individual etc)
Fish records - accumulated annual points, handicap, club species record etc
Account record – simple income, expenditure, balance
Property list – items the club owns and lends out, date purchased, donations? For gear lent out. Etc etc
Special Event category with a ‘to do’ list, etc
Raffle Roster – a record of those rostered on and a record of income from raffles or fund raising events to see which is the most profitable etc
Obviously there would be some items clubs would not use – for example if they have no property or don’t do raffles.
My idea is to have it to some extent configurable to suit your clubs needs – maybe modules that are or are not installed.
Perhaps two record keeping formats – one for ANSA style point system and one for the typical 10 points per kilo and one point per fish of the SQAFCA type clubs.
What would you like in club software – divided into two categories?
