Lynn has devoted 33 years to the club, turning her hand to everything from coaching and umpiring to chairing the committee.
As a former 1st XI coach, one of Lynn's most significant contributions this past year has been as mentor to up-and-coming coaches.
She has also recently turned her attention to coaching the two other senior teams and the junior section of the club. As well as helping to organise umpires every week, she is highly involved in the organisation of the club's third team, the development team, testing her motivational skills as well as her coaching abilities.
Lynn can also be found coaching and umpiring on a Sunday morning with the club's U13 and U15 teams and it is her enthusiasm for junior development that has been instrumental in the development and delivery of Longridge's ClubsFirst status and Club School Link.
After receiving her honour at the awards ceremony at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Nottingham on Saturday night,
Lynn said: "I'm very honoured to have been chosen. Longridge is only a Longridge chairperson is named Club Member of the year small club compared to a lot of the major clubs. We've got three senior teams and four junior teams. I also spend quite a lot of time going into the primary schools because we've not got links with schools and we've just organised two primary school festivals and had 90-100 children taking part.
"It's been a very exciting night and it was very exciting to actually receive an award – it was totally unexpected.
"I looked at the category and it was a very strong category so I didn't think I had a chance. It's been unbelievable."
England Hockey's Chief Executive Sally Munday said: "To have the grassroots of the sport mixing with the elite as they have tonight shows the true spirit of the 'hockey family'.
"The look on the faces of the award winners said it all. These people give their time week in, week out, and they do it for the love of the game. They don't expect to win awards, so being able to give something back to these selfless individuals has been an absolute pleasure."
