Use cases — Community and member notices
The noticeboard, minus the drawing pins
Every club and community building has a corkboard with a curled notice from two seasons ago pinned over a current one. A screen only fixes that if updating it is easier than printing — which means feeding it from what you already publish, and letting more than one person keep it current.
On the screen
What people stop to read
Notices and results
Weekend results, ladders, working-bee dates, AGM notices and the raffle winner. The things members come in specifically to check.
Hours, closures and bookings
Today’s opening hours, the court or green that is closed, and which room is booked this evening — the questions staff answer twenty times a day.
What’s on
Point it at the calendar you already keep and this week’s events appear on their own, with a countdown to the next one.
Keeping it current
It has to outlast the volunteer who set it up
Fed from what exists
A news feed from your website or newsletter and a calendar feed cover most of it, so the screen updates as a side effect of work someone is already doing.
More than one person can edit
Give the secretary and the bar manager their own access to the playlist. When the committee changes, the screen does not become nobody’s job.
Runs unattended
It starts itself after a blackout, plays from local storage when the internet is down, and tells you from the dashboard if it ever stops.
Replace the corkboard
Tell us what is pinned to it now and we will show you the same thing as a screen.
