Nobody runs a chess club because they love fixtures admin.
You do it for the chess. Here is where the rest of the season quietly goes.
- 18:30
Boards out
Sets and clocks laid out before anyone arrives. You are always the first one there.
- 19:30
The bit you started for
Juniors beating players who used to beat them, because the club exists. This is why you took it on.
- 21:45And then
Sets away
You should be heading home. Instead you are working out who has paid this season and who can play the match.
- 22:50
Still going
Subs unpaid, junior consent forms in a folder somewhere, and the league entry due. None of this is chess.
The admin is not the job. It just takes the hours.
None of it needs to sit with you. When memberships renew themselves, failed payments chase themselves and the register fills in as people walk through the door, the evening goes back to being yours.
Run the club. Not the back office.
See it as your club.
Memberships, payments, bookings and check-in, plus a member app and a club website carrying your name. Put your club in it and have a look around.

Don't just take our word for it
Hear from the people running their clubs on Dyno.
Before Dyno we were juggling a Facebook group, a spreadsheet of subs and cash in hand payments that were impossible to track. Now the whole club lives in one place, monthly memberships collect themselves, parents book gradings straight from their phones, and I can message a full class in seconds. It has handed me back the couple of hours every week I used to lose to admin, so I can actually focus on teaching. For a club our size it has been a genuine game-changer.

Add only what you need
Add only what you need. All included on Pro, except bespoke website work.
Bespoke website
Your club website, built to your design. It starts from the standard site, then we make the changes you ask for in code: layout, extra sections and styling the template doesn't offer. The standard website is included from Growth up; this is the bespoke work, on any plan.
Facilities
Bookable courts, rooms or pitches with eligibility rules, conflict checks and member self-booking. Available on Starter; included from Growth up.
Staff scheduling & 1:1 sessions
Bookable staff calendars, 1:1 sessions and shift planning with availability and conflict checks.

Custom reports, longer data retention and CSV exports for finance and ops teams.
Featured club
Pinned placement in the Dyno discovery directory to help new members find your club first.
Advanced activity history
Searchable, exportable record of important actions across your club: sign-ups, cancellations, payments, staff changes. A basic activity log is included on every paid plan; this adds the advanced version.
Shop
Sell merch, drinks and one-off items from your club page, in the app and on the web, and at the front desk on a card reader.
Gamification
Leaderboards, personal stats, attendance streaks and live milestone moments in the member app, all to drive attendance and engagement.
Performance results
Track times, distances, lifts and scores against the disciplines your club defines. Personal bests are detected automatically and shown to members in the app.
Retention
Win members back automatically: we-miss-you emails and push to at-risk members, expiring class-pack reminders and renewal nudges ahead of billing.

Club management software for chess clubs
From junior coaching sections to league teams and casual club nights, chess clubs run on subs, fixtures and a community that wants to stay in touch. Dyno gives you membership management, club-night bookings and a members' app in one place, so the committee spends less time on admin and more on the chess.
Take annual or monthly subscriptions automatically, let players sign up for club nights and tournaments, and keep everyone updated through the club feed, all from software your members actually want to open.
Dig into the features behind it: memberships and subs, club nights and tournaments, card and Direct Debit payments, the member app.
