NGX Ramblers: Platform Overview

While the multi-tenant discussion is driven by email rollout, it is worth noting that NGX Ramblers is a complete group website platform — not just an email tool.

What NGX Ramblers Provides

Groups adopting the platform receive:

• Event management — create, edit, and publish group walks and social events with GPS routes, map integration, and automatic syncing with Ramblers walks manager
• Event booking — lightweight booking system with capacity management, waitlists, and confirmation emails
• Photo galleries — album management with image upload, resizing, and gallery views
• CMS pages — flexible content management with markdown, action buttons, carousels, maps, and embedded content
• Committee document management — file uploads organised by year and document type (AGM minutes, agendas, financial statements)
• Member administration — member database, role-based access, bulk import/export, and membership renewal tracking
• Email — newsletter and notification sending via Brevo, with configurable templates and sender identity
• External integrations — Ramblers walks manager, Meetup event publishing, Google Maps, OS Maps, Flickr

Migration Path

Groups migrating off legacy platforms such as Ramblers Webs get a modern, fully featured replacement. The NGX Ramblers CLI includes an automated environment setup wizard that provisions a complete site — database, storage, DNS, email configuration — in minutes.

Relevance to Multi-Tenant Discussion

The email capability is what Ramblers Head Office has identified as the immediate rollout priority, but the platform's full value is much broader. Any multi-tenant architecture must support all of these features with per-group isolation, not just email.
