Online Registration · Upfront Payment
The Gimli Yacht Club delivers sailing programs supported by volunteers. Like many seasonal clubs, it operates on a modest scale but handles a high volume of participant communication and coordination. Prior to using Checklick, the registration process relied heavily on manual steps and informal commitments, which created challenges for both staff and families.
Registrations were managed manually, which proved both time-consuming and inefficient. Organizers handled signups through email, and payments were typically made by cash or cheque – often not collected until after the program had ended. Each registration required a manual confirmation, and many members would register verbally in person, making commitments difficult to track. As a result, chasing down registration fees stretched well into the fall.
To streamline operations, Gimli Yacht Club made several key changes with Checklick. All registrations were required to be paid by credit card at the time of sign-up, eliminating delays in fee collection. The process was centralized through a single online entry point, making registration more organized and accessible, and the system helped the club prevent over-subscription to high-demand time slots.
The club transitioned entirely to Checklick’s platform for registrations. By requiring payment upfront and directing everyone to the same portal, they removed the need for manual tracking, email confirmations, and in-person commitments.
