Description

The Ashhurst branch of the Women’s Institute (sometimes Country Women's Institute) was formed 15 August 1932.

A Mrs J. Penket is thought to be 5th from the left behind the front row. She started visiting patients in hospital on behalf of the Manawatu District CWI branches in the early 1930s and continued to do so for many years. The woman second from left in the second back row has been identified as Ellen (Nellie) Charlotte Flowers (née Ansin), who was Red Cross nurse in the Ashhurst community.
