One system covers every club in Queensland. Clubs don't need their own sign-up pages, websites, or online forms.

Someone thinks "I'd like to try croquet." What happens next?
Usually, nothing. They don't know which club is near them. They don't know who to call. The thought passes.
The convincing is already done. By the time someone looks up "croquet near me," they're interested. They don't need a sales pitch. They need a door. comeandtrycroquet.com is the door. One form. Name, email, phone, postcode. The system finds the nearest clubs and sends the details. That's it. The whole job of this website is to minimise the distance between "I'd like to try" and "let's do this."
The visitor enters their contact and postcode. The system matches them to their nearest clubs and emails the details. No account. No login. No app. Thirty seconds from a phone. Entered when people want to try croquet.
Clubs don't need their own sign-up pages, websites, or online forms.
Toowoomba can promote their Come & Try on the same day Caloundra promotes their open day. Both clubs push people to comeandtrycroquet.com. The postcode sorts out which club each person belongs to. Toowoomba sign-ups go to Toowoomba. Caloundra sign-ups go to Caloundra. No one has to coordinate. No one has to build anything. Each club runs its own promotion, and the system handles the sign up easily.
A welcome email arrives with what to expect. Over the following weeks, a short series of emails introduces the game, the culture, and the people. Nothing pushy. Just enough so people get an understanding of what croquet is about.
