PickleBook is the new platform for managing your PbE membership.
We have implemented a new membership management platform. This will mean that there will be no manual interventions for individual or club membership. It also means that when clubs register and add/edit venue and session information to their club profile, the changes will be updated on the Club Locator within a couple of minutes! Lots of clubs have been asking for this and we can now meet that need.
We are going to be emailing existing members to let them know how to claim their profile and add the icon above to their phone screen for convenient access.

Pickleball England Achieves Sport England Recognition
17.12.24
We learned that not only has pickleball been recognised by the four Home Country Sports Councils (Sport England, sportscotland, Sport Wales and Sport Northern Ireland) but that Sport England has recognised Pickleball England as the NGB of the sport in England. Sportscotland recognised our sister organisation Pickleball Scotland as the NGB in Scotland.
This is fantastic news for pickleball and for our respective organisations. We will provide more of an update as soon as we can. We are now officially allowed to display the Sport England logo on our website. [Please note that Sport England have advised that this does not enable clubs to use the logo unless they are in receipt of Sport England funding.]
