Baglan is the South Wales cricket club Pavilion is built hand-in-hand with. Not a demo, not a screenshot — a real volunteer-run club using every part of the platform, every weekend of the season.
Like thousands of grassroots clubs, Baglan is run entirely by volunteers who already have day jobs. The admin lived in too many places — and the funding that could change the club went unclaimed because nobody had the time to look.
Subs in one sheet, fixtures in another, availability in a WhatsApp thread. The treasurer chased payments by memory, and nobody had the full picture in one place.
There are grants for clubs exactly like Baglan — but finding them meant hours trawling council and Sport Wales pages. So, like most clubs, they simply missed them.
The old site was frozen in time — last season's fixtures, an out-of-date committee list — because keeping it current meant work no volunteer had spare hours for.
Baglan isn't on a special version. They use exactly what's live for everyone, which is the point: it's tested for real, by a real committee, before it ever reaches you.
It starts with money. Baglan answered a few questions in the free grant checker and saw funding across all four UK nations ranked for their club — then worked the live ones through the tracker, with the AI drafter helping write the applications.
The whole season lives in one place. Players set their availability from their phones, the captain picks the XI, and a tidy teamsheet PDF goes out — no more chasing replies across three group chats.
The treasurer finally has the full picture. An income and expense ledger, plus a subs tracker that shows exactly who has paid and who is owing — so the books are ready for the AGM, not patched together the night before.
Baglan's public site at baglan-site.vercel.app reads straight from Pavilion. Pick the XI in the app and the teamsheet appears on the site. Log a result and the fixtures page re-publishes itself. The committee does zero web admin.
A bespoke website is part of the platform — not a separate job for a separate volunteer. Because it pulls live from the same data the committee already keeps, it is never out of date.
Indicative of Baglan's live pilot. Every feature shipped to clubs is used here first, for real, before it reaches you.
Before Pavilion, running the club meant five spreadsheets and a head full of who-owes-what. Now the fixtures, the squad, the money and the website all live in one place — and it's already found us funding we'd never have gone looking for.
Plenty of tools can run fixtures. Almost none of them help a volunteer find the money that keeps the club alive. Here is where Pavilion is built differently.
