Melbourne Smashers Badminton Club Inc.
“Welcoming and inclusive, with an active social calendar alongside our badminton sessions.”
Club Administrator, Club Secretary
The organisation
Melbourne Smashers Badminton Club Inc. is one of Melbourne's largest LGBTQI+ sporting clubs and one of Melbourne's largest badminton clubs, with approximately 350 members. Sessions run Tuesday, Saturday, and Sunday at the Melbourne Sports and Aquatic Centre (MSAC) in Albert Park. The club describes itself as "welcoming and inclusive, with an active social calendar alongside our badminton sessions."
The challenge
Managing ~350 members across three weekly session days means handling annual memberships ($60/year or $30 for half-year), $20 guest court fees per session, session registrations that open 6 days in advance and close 30 minutes before start, Slack integration for real-time coordination, and the shop for merchandise.
How TidyHQ helped
TidyHQ manages annual memberships with Stripe payments, per-session event registrations with capacity limits and auto-closing, meeting records for club governance, the shop for merchandise, Slack integration for real-time member communication, and a custom domain. With 2,386 contacts, the platform supports one of Australia's most active LGBTQI+ sporting communities.
The outcome
With 7 TidyHQ features in active use, Melbourne Smashers Badminton Club Inc. runs their entire operation from one platform.
- ~350 — Active members
- 10+ — Years of operational history preserved
- 7 — TidyHQ features and integrations
From their public website to membership renewals to event management, Melbourne Smashers Badminton Club Inc. handles it all from one dashboard. New committee members inherit a working system, not a collection of logins and spreadsheets.
