Setting up a new Club

A guide for club admins getting their club up and running on Range Mate

Welcome! This section is for club admins getting a club onto Range Mate. You can start in one of two ways, both free to begin:

  • A directory listing β€” get your club listed in the public Range Mate directory so shooters can find you. No commitment to run anything else.

  • The full club platform β€” a free trial of everything: memberships, bookings, range logs, payments and records (this includes a directory listing too).

Getting started

Head to setup.range-mate.co.uk/get-started and choose the option that suits you. Both follow the same short, two-step sign-up:

  1. Your club's basics β€” name, a short name (we suggest a web address from it), and your town and county.

  2. Your account β€” create your login as the club's first admin. This is a lightweight admin account: just your name, your role at the club, email and a password β€” you don't fill in a full member application at this stage.

Confirm your email when prompted, and you're in.

Picked a directory listing but later want the full platform? You can upgrade to a free trial at any time from your dashboard β€” your details carry over.

If you chose a directory listing

You'll land on your listing dashboard, where you can fill in and manage what's published. See Club Directory Listing. New listings are reviewed by the Range Mate team before they go live.

If you chose the full platform

You'll land on a setup checklist that walks you through everything needed to go live. See Initial Configuration, then Onboarding Existing Members to bring your current members across.

Before you start the full setup

It helps to have a few things ready:

  • The Stripe details you'll use to take payments from your members (you can also set this up later).

  • Your membership types and their prices (e.g. Full, Probationary).

  • Your ranges/locations and roughly when your membership year runs (the default is 1st Jan – 31st Dec, and it's configurable).
