Brighton Lacrosse Club's Life Members

The following Brighton members, past and present, were presented with Life Membership for outstanding contribution to our club's tapestry of success. Through hard work, dedication and commitment they have all contributed to the successful outcome that is our club today. We thank them for all that they have done, whether it was on or off the field, their efforts did not go unnoticed and without our volunteers our club would not be where it is today. Thank you.
