HOME / NEWSLETTERS

Club newsletters, without the blank page.

Bowlsy drafts each edition from what's already in the club calendar: upcoming events, results and sponsor thank-yous. Add your message, send, and see who opened it.

THE PLAYGROUND — NO SIGN-UP

Build this month's newsletter. Right now.

This is Bowlsy's real newsletter engine, working from Kingfisher Bay's demo club. Add a section and it arrives filled in — the news, the what's-on list, Saturday's results — pulled from the club's own records. Every section comes in a few layouts. Pick a style, a colour, a typeface.

From Kingfisher Bay Bowls Club Subject: The Kingfisher — October
Sample club, real engine — the news and results above are Kingfisher Bay's own records, pulled in the moment you added the section.
01 The blank page

Nobody wants to write the newsletter. So don't.

Every event, match report and sponsor already lives in Bowlsy — so the newsletter arrives with the what's-on list, the news and the thank-yous filled in from the club calendar.

You write the intro. That's the job.

The club newsletter on a phone — Twilight Bowls, filled in from the club calendar
The Bowlsy newsletter editor — the newsletter itself is the editor
02 The editor

Click the newsletter. Type. That's the editor.

No builder to learn — you edit the newsletter itself, and it changes as you type. Add a section, swap a photo, move things around.

If a committee member can type an email, they can publish the newsletter.

03 The inbox

Looks right in Gmail, Outlook and on Nan's iPad.

Templates built the way email actually works — in your club's colours, tested against the fussy inboxes, with a "view in your browser" link for the day someone's email app misbehaves anyway.

04 The list

One list that keeps itself tidy.

Groups that make sense

Members, barefoot bowlers, the Friday raffle crowd — send each edition to the people it belongs to.

Unsubscribes handle themselves

One click for them, nothing for you — the list stays clean and the club stays polite (and legal).

Test it on yourself first

Send a test to your own inbox before the whole club sees it.

Know it landed

Sends are queued and tracked — see who received it and who opened it, in plain numbers.
