The E J Sawer trophy is awarded to the Institute who has had the most Increased Insitiute Membership. In 2024, that was us at Karaka Women's Institute.
This trophy was first awarded in 1991. Karaka has won this tropy in 2019, the year we were established and last year. Let's hope we can increase our membership more and win it again.
