Yes. You can create a site with us completely without cost and without providing any payment information. You may add as much content to your site as you like. You can use all of the features and publish your site so that an unlimited number of visitors from around the world can access it. There are no time limits to this either and we promise never to introduce any.

We do however limit your free site to 25 active members, that is to say a maximum of 25 people can create an account on lovebowls and apply to join your site. Membership provides additional benefits when browsing your site such as being able to get to certain screens that visitors cannot access. You (or others you make site admins) can decide who is granted membership access.

For many clubs however, even though they have more than 25 bowlers they do not expect that many to sign up to their website (at least initially). We are happy to support bowls clubs and help introduce a potentially new way of managing their activities. If at some stage in the future your club reaches the 25 website member limit then we hope that you will find such a website worth paying a relatively small subscription.

We also limit the number of emails you can send to your members through the message centre on your free site to 250 per month.

To offset the cost of a premium site or even make money from your free site, you can sell advertising on your Home page and we also offer a referral program that may offer even more benefits.

First, you must create an account on lovebowls and sign in. Then go to the club's homepage either by clicking the link in an invite email or from the Club Directory. If you have been invited your account will automatically be created otherwise you will be able to request membership from the pop-up that appears.

Yes, you can join any number of clubs for example an indoor and an outdoor club.

You can switch clubs by clicking the blue "lovebowls" link shown at the bottom of each page and then clicking the "Clubs" menu.

Your quota of monthly emails depends on which plan you are on. With the free plan you can SEND 250 emails from your website every month.

Replies sent to web site visitors (i.e. non-members) who get in touch with you through your "Contact" page do not count towards your quota.

Only messages sent to members from your Message Centre of from the Selection menu of the fixture teamsheet will count towards your quota.

Please bear the following in mind If you decide that you wish to upgrade from the free plan to a paid plan.

The subscription can only be purchased by the member who originally created the club site "The Owner". If the owner of the site is unable to complete the purchase for whatever reason please contact us and we can change the ownership of your site.

Once logged in as the club owner go to your site's Administration page and click the upgrade button to begin the process of purchasing a subscription.

Subscriptions take effect on your website immediately the purchase is confirmed.

If your club is unable to purchase online we are happy to process your order offline via bank transfer or cheque. Please contact us to find out more.

We don't offer hosting for externally created websites and your domain (if you decide to keep it) should be setup to automatically redirect to your new lovebowls site URL.

While lovebowls doesn't have a built-in rink booking system at the moment, we've got a nifty workaround that might just do the trick.

Embedding External Systems: We've made it easy to embed things like booking systems from other sites into your lovebowls club website. So if you've already got a booking system, we can help you slot that right in.

Flexibility: This approach gives you the freedom to choose a booking system that fits your club's specific needs. Member Access: Your members can access the embedded booking system directly through your lovebowls site. No need to faff about with multiple websites.

Future Plans: We're always looking to improve, so a native rink booking system might be on the cards for future updates.
