I used to spend up to 1 hour populating the planner. Drive to the club. Then still get at least 5 calls during the week. It was getting to be too much for one person to manage.

The Challenge
Lindley Bowling Club wanted to modernise its booking system to make life easier for both its committee and members. Like many traditional bowls clubs, they were also mindful of broader challenges facing the sport, including keeping the club sustainable and attractive to a wide range of members.
The club needed a solution that would:
- Save valuable committee time - Their booking secretary was spending too much time managing bookings, printing planners, and taking phone calls each week.
- Provide a simple, easy-to-use system - With many members less familiar with technology, the system had to be intuitive for all ages and simple to maintain for non-technical committee members.
- Be flexible to support the club's wider activities - Starting with green bookings but expanding to help manage match schedules, social events, and maintenance planning.
- Support the club’s long-term future - Delivering a cost-effective solution that could help improve member engagement, simplify admin, and ensure the club remained a vibrant community space.
By streamlining bookings and freeing up the committee’s time, Lindley Bowling Club aimed to enhance the experience for members and continue building a thriving and sustainable club.
Since using Jezzam, I don’t have to print the planner or handle endless booking queries – it’s saved me time and reduced the stress of managing it all.

Results
Following the implementation of Jezzam's online booking and scheduling platform, Lindley Bowling Club have seen some incredible results:
148,000 minutes
of bowls play booked on the green over a three-year period.
2,449 bookings
of the green made by members over a three-year period.
19 social events
made available for members to easily book through the system.
The system feels like it was made for us, not just another off-the-shelf programme. It's not as expensive as some other bowling systems and the account suspension feature over the winter is great.
