Following feedback from members, a change of name for the Association to Yorkshire Senior Ladies Golf Association was implemented. The cost of the changes was budgeted for and amounted to circa £7k – including new team uniform (navy blue and white), flags, banners, badges, desk cloths and a new website from Club V1.

The Championships were held at a very soggy Oakdale GC from April 23rd – 25th with 99 entrants. Severely wet weather had closed many courses and thanks to the efforts of the Oakdale Greens staff, the course, while not ideal, did have 18 holes open – just! Emma Brown (Malton & Norton) defended her title again beating Karen Jobling (Richmond) 6&5 in the final.

The Northern Championships were held at Preston GC, Lancashire. Joyce Slater (Oakdale), Heather Butcher (Ganton), Julie Wheeldon (Wakefield), Karen Jobling (Richmond) and Carol Simpson (Malton & Norton) all qualified for the top flight finals with Fiona Wood (Ilkley) and Jackie Barraclough (Cleckheaton) qualifying for the second flight matchplay. Once again the weather was shocking but Karen Jobling progressed to the semifinal stage, losing to the final winner Lucy Ashworth. Fiona Wood lost in the quarter finals of the second flight and Jackie Barraclough lost in the semifinal to the eventual winner Clare Seddon.

Sadly, the Richardson Trophy slipped through our grasp once again but with potential new team members reaching the age of 50 next year, confidence will be high in 2025. Congratulations to Lynn Wass who received her colours.

It was another successful year for Emma Brown (Malton & Norton):
- YLCGA Senior Champion at Hallamshire GC
- Winner of Senior County Champion of Champions for the third year
- Selected for England Senior Team for the Home Internationals at Castle Rock, Ireland.

The Jamboree was hosted by the Midlands at Trentham GC. The Northern team (with President Gill Travis from Yorkshire) included Karen Jobling (Richmond) and reserve Julie Wheeldon (Wakefield) and retained the Miller Stirling Trophy, beating closest rivals, the Midlands by just one point – another exciting finish.
