Rowing club member portal
Give every rower a login of their own: they update details, confirm training session places, and book boats, phone in hand on the way to the club.
What does the Row HQ member portal do?
Each rower runs their own club account: confirming outings, keeping contact and emergency details right, watching the boat schedule, entering for regattas, and paying subs. The membership secretary stops playing switchboard, because every change a member makes writes straight into the club's central records. For an Irish club run by volunteers between training and work, that is hours back every week.
Whatever plan you pick, the portal comes with it; our simple banded pricing follows member numbers and nothing more.

Member portal FAQs
What Irish club committees usually ask before switching.
Think of it as each member's own key to the club's records. Through it they correct contact and emergency details, follow their outing history, book sessions and boats, choose their notifications, and log qualifications such as cox certificates, water safety, and first aid. It removes the old routine of emailing the secretary over every changed number and waiting for the update to happen. Committee members get the real prize: records that stay accurate on their own, because the person the data belongs to is the one maintaining it. Clubs affiliated to Rowing Ireland also find that clean records take the pain out of annual returns.
They can. The profile belongs to the member: phone, email, address, emergency contact, GP details, allergies, and any extra field the club defines. Edits apply immediately, with an audit trail recording who changed what and when, so the committee can always reconstruct the history. How far self-service goes is up to the club; many keep free-text notes open for medical or accessibility information and lock membership category so only an admin can change it. Personal details belong to the member; anything touching subs or eligibility stays with the committee.
Row HQ is built around GDPR as it applies in Ireland through the Data Protection Act 2018. Members hold their own data: they can take an export whenever they wish and close the account when they leave. Marketing consent is stored separately from operational messages, so safety notices keep flowing after someone opts out of fundraising email. All personal data is encrypted in transit and at rest, and access logging means a committee can show the Data Protection Commission exactly who viewed what, should the question ever arise.
No. Any phone or laptop browser will do. Android users can also download Row HQ from Google Play. Members who prefer the browser can add the club portal to their home screen. Both routes use the same login and membership records.
Yes. A member's record lists every outing through the season, water, erg, and circuits, along with what was missed and how the pattern is moving. Clubs decide the visibility, most showing a member their own record only. It changes the tone of selection: when crews are being settled for the Irish Championships, or for a head race on the Shannon, the conversation starts from shared numbers rather than whoever remembers loudest. Coaches working with juniors, who are Garda vetted as a matter of course, also value having attendance in one accountable place rather than on paper slips.
