The
Taranaki
Women's
Club
was
set
up
in
1926,
to
provide
women
in
Taranaki
with
a
centre
to
develop
their
interests
in
social,
public,
scientific
and
artistic
affairs.
The
club
purchased
a
building
as
their
club
base
in
1950,
on
Powderham
Street
in
central
New
Plymouth.
From
here,
all
manner
of
events
and
club
happening
were
managed,
including
an
active
gardening
group
and
a
range
of
social
and
sporting
engagements.
Sadly
the
club
rooms
were
deemed
unfit
for
the
Women's
Club
use,
and
so
the
building
on
Powderham
Street
was
sold
in
2012.
