  • Every feature, and every update, at no extra charge

A whole year free, so you see a whole season

A side's year has a shape: dawn on May morning, the summer season, fetes and festivals, an AGM, and subs in the new year.

A side that tried SideMinder in November would see an empty ticksheet. Twelve months is the shortest trial in which every part gets used. If you go back to the spreadsheet at the end, you'll have paid nothing.

Set up your side with one email

There's no shop and no card form. Just email info@sideminder.co.uk with:

  • your side's name, and a short version for its address
  • the first admin's name and email address
  • your badge, if you have it as a picture

Setting a side up takes me a few minutes, so most of the wait is for my reply. Your free year starts the day your side is set up. When it ends, I'll send an invoice, and you pay by bank transfer.

Straight answers to the awkward questions

What happens at the end of the free year?
I'll ask whether you'd like to carry on. I'll never switch anything off without telling you first, or delete anything without asking.
What if we stop?
Your data belongs to your side. Ask, and I'll send you the members, events and answers in a form a spreadsheet will open.
How is the price set?
It will cover hosting costs and administration, security and other running costs.
Will the price jump once we depend on it?
It's £30 a year, and I mean it to stay the sort of sum one evening's subs can cover. If it ever changes, I'll tell you well before your renewal.
Can we pay by bank transfer?
Yes, and for now it's the only way, which suits most treasurers. I'll send an invoice with the bank details on it.
Can we use our own domain name?
No. Every side lives at yourside.sideminder.co.uk, and that's deliberate. It means the secure connection, the email and the setting up all work without anybody fiddling with domain settings.
We're not a morris side. Would it work for us?
Probably. When I set your side up, you choose morris, rapper or longsword words, and an admin can retype any of them later. The demo (opens in a new tab) has a rapper team and a sword team to look round, and I'm happy to talk it through.
