Set up the regular group
Create a weekly session, select its package and roster the members who belong in that group. Use tags to narrow the roster by a group label such as “Beginner” or “Junior”.
A session workflow for paddling schools
Paddling class management built around the session-day workflow.
Paddling classes can include regular groups, changing conditions and the occasional first-timer. South Dune keeps your member list, weekly sessions, attendance and billing records connected in one place.

A paddling session, step by step
Make room for regulars and drop-ins.
Keep the recurring group and the people who actually made it onto the water in the same session record.
Add a first-time paddler
Add a walk-in directly to the attendance register. They are marked present and flagged for full registration, so their member and billing details can be completed afterwards.
Close out attendance
Review present and absent paddlers, complete the session, and keep a record of who took part. Walk-ins need to be fully registered before completion.
When conditions change
Keep the schedule history understandable.
If a session has to be called off, cancel that occurrence in the schedule. If plans change again before it ends, reinstate it. Recorded attendance is locked when a session is cancelled, so the session status remains clear to the team.
For recurring groups, adjust just one date or split the series from a chosen date forward. Earlier occurrences and their attendance and billing history stay in place.

One-off changes don’t rewrite the series
Keep the standing weekly schedule while handling a particular session separately, with its own status and history.
Read about recurring sessions arrow_forwardChoose a charging approach
Match charges to the paddling programme.
Set billing per package, so different groups or programmes can use different charging rules.
Monthly group fees
Use a recurring package for a regular programme, with charges posted on its configured monthly trigger day.
Prepaid sessions
Assign a prepaid package and post its full charge when it is assigned to a paddler.
Pay for attendance
With a usage-based package, completing the session charges only paddlers marked present.
If a family has several paddlers, each person keeps their own attendance and package history while sharing one billing account and statement.
Paddling school questions
How South Dune handles session-day details.
Can I add someone who wasn’t on the roster?
Yes. Add a walk-in from the attendance register. Complete their full member and account details before completing the session.
Does a cancelled session create an attendance charge?
Usage-based charges are created when a session is completed for members marked present. A cancelled session is not completed.
Can family members share a statement?
Yes. Link multiple paddlers to one billing account while keeping each paddler’s attendance record separate.
Keep the session admin in check
Spend less time reconciling paddling records.
Connect your paddlers, recurring sessions, attendance and billing with South Dune.
