From Mrs E. Trowell comes this picture of some of the delegates who went to the Conference of the National Council of Women held in Wellington in 1931. The delegates had to stay the night in Napier where they weren't very happy with the number of earthquakes felt during the night. This was not long before the devastating 'quake of February of that year. Mrs Trowell, in the back row at the right, and the late Mrs W. E. Goffe, in the front row at the left, were the delegates from Gisborne.
