Life Members

The Club awards Life Membership to members of the Club who have made a significant contribution to the Club over a long period of time.

A small Committee (usually chaired by the President of the Club’s Life Members’ Association) researches and assesses potential nominees and makes a recommendation to the Board of the Club which may also nominate a person for the award.

The Life Member badges are presented at the first home game luncheon in the following year.
