# Club Directory Listing

Range Mate runs a public directory of shooting clubs. Listing your club helps shooters in your area find you and see what you offer — disciplines, location, how to get in touch and whether you're taking new members.

A directory listing is **free** and separate from the rest of the platform: a club can have a listing without using Range Mate to run its memberships, and a full platform club gets a listing too.

## Turning your listing on

Go to **Club Settings → Directory** and switch on **List this club in the public directory**. You then control exactly what's published.

{% hint style="info" %}
New listings are **reviewed by the Range Mate team before they go live** — a quick check to keep the directory genuine. Your listing shows as *pending* until it's approved, after which your edits publish without needing re-approval.
{% endhint %}

## What you can publish

* **Town, county and region** — where members can find you.
* **Location precision** — choose **Approximate** to show only your town and county, or **Exact** to also publish your postcode and a map pin. Approximate keeps your exact address private.
* **Disciplines** — the shooting disciplines you offer, from the standard list.
* **Affiliations** — governing bodies you're affiliated to (NRA, NSRA, etc.).
* **Website, public email and a "how to join" link** — how prospective members get in touch or apply.
* **A short description** — a paragraph in your own words.
* **Home Office approval and NRA affiliation numbers** — if you have them. Leaving the Home Office number blank means your listing won't claim to be Home Office approved.

## Letting people know if you're taking members

Use **Membership status** to set the badge shown on your listing:

* **Accepting new members** — you're open to applications.
* **Not currently accepting members** — your books are closed for now.
* **Waiting list open** — you're taking names for when a space opens up.

{% hint style="info" %}
Leave the membership status blank and **no badge is shown** — your listing simply stays neutral. Range Mate never guesses on your behalf, so it's worth setting this so prospective members know where they stand.
{% endhint %}

## When changes appear

The public directory is rebuilt periodically, so an edit may take a little while to show on the live site rather than appearing instantly.
