If you attended our AGM last November you will be aware that the background to this name change was that the three divisions in
England were well on their way to change their name from Veteran Ladies to Senior Women. The reasons given were that the word Veteran gave the wrong impression on how senior women were
perceived in golfing circles. It was a name that was introduced in the 1950’s but it is now considered to be out of date with current thinking. It was discussed again at Blairgowrie on the 22nd September 2024 and it was agreed that the name change would go ahead from 1st October 2024. It was therefore a name change that was enforced upon us. No doubt we will get used to it eventually.
