We'd like to wish all our clubs and their members a very Happy New Year.

The New Year has started with some great steps forward at ClubNet - our new version of the Website (v4.7.1) has now been rolled out, and all sites have been migrated to our new server.

The new version offers some great new features, as well as some neat enhancements to what was there before, and some measures to enhance still further the site's performance.  Here's just a selection of the changes:

• Improved News / Blog functionality, now easier than ever to post your club news
• Total re-design of the Forum to make it more user-friendly and easier to follow conversations by subscribing to your chosen topics
• New "Committee Page" functionality with optional custom contact forms and biographies
• New "Events List" which automatically removes events once they are in the past
• Better integration with Facebook and Twitter
• Optional scrolling "Latest News" at the top of most pages - ensure that members are aware of the latest goings-on
• Greater flexibility for administrators with page layouts and column widths

In addition to this, our Bookings clients will notice a couple of new reports:

• a new overnight report shows all the booking cancellations from the previous day
• on-screen (within Admin Functions) report which shows how long before the court time members are cancelling courts - this should be an especially useful tool for clubs who wish to prevent members booking courts protectively, cancelling them late, and therefore leaving courts empty at peak times
