Hung initially in the club house in Prospect Road then moved to new premises in Avonlee Street Armadale in 1982 until the branch folded in 2009.
The Armadale branch of the CWA started in 1935. It had its branch office in Prospect Street Armadale. It had many local women as members who at the time helped support the local community, which was still a rural community. It was an important social club as well for local women to participate in.
In 1982, the club moved to a new branch office in Avonlee street. Over the next 27 years, membership declined and eventually the club was forced to close.

This object is part of a significant collection that represents the role the Country Women's Association (CWA) played in the region as a social support network and campaigner for the rights and empowerment for local women. The CWA was formed in 1922 and a branch started in Western Australia in 1924. The organisation played a role improving country health services through extensive campaigning and fund-raising as well as providing welfare and support for members of rural communities during times of economic and social stress.
