Guest book and lost & found

In progress

The record of who visited, who sponsored them, and who is not welcome back.

In progress. Part of this works today. The article says which part.

What you can do today

Guests (needs run_gate) holds the club's guest records: who visited, who sponsored them, and how often.

Guest passes

A membership includes a seasonal guest allowance. Past that, the desk sells a pass. Clubs also cap guests per member per day, which is a separate limit.

Hitting the daily cap is overridable with a recorded reason — deliberately. The answer to a family arriving with six children on a birthday is a human decision with a note attached, never a bare refusal from a screen.

Two soft signals, and why they are soft

Frequent visitor. If the same guest has been in a lot this season, the desk is told. It is a fact handed to the desk, not a judgement. Whether nine visits is a problem is the membership chair's call; the desk's job is to know and mention it. Yellow, never red.

Name matches a banned guest record. Also yellow. It is a fuzzy name match, and auto-refusing the wrong Dave Miller at the gate on a Saturday is worse than asking a human to look at the record.

Banned records

A club can record a guest as not welcome, with the reason. The desk sees the match and reads the record.

What is not built yet

  • Lost & found is coming soon. There is no place to record a left-behind pair of goggles yet. The guest book exists; lost & found does not.
  • Live guest checking at the moment of entry — the allowance countdown, the daily cap and the guest waiver enforced as somebody walks up.
