THESE RULES GO INTO EFFECT ON JANUARY 1, 2008

Tennessee Traveling Plaque

1. Any Chapter wishing to challenge possession of this plaque shall have at least five (5) representatives attend the next meeting or Fun Day of the possessing Chapter. In case more than one Chapter challenges possession, the Chapter that has traveled the most distance will be given possession of the plaque. Members that ride their motorcycles will be awarded double mileage. Determination of distances will be made by multiplying the total number challenging for the plaque x  the miles traveled. Distance is determined by the most direct route from the Chapters meeting place to the event place of the Chapter that is in possession of the plaque.

2. All members representing the challenging Chapter must prove current membership in the Gold Wing Road Rider's Association.

3. The plaque will be awarded at the beginning of the meeting/event.

4. Once a Chapter has successfully challenged and taken possession of the plaque, that Chapter's Director will immediately notify the District Director so this information can be incorporated into the next District newsletter and be posted on the District Website.

5. When the announcement of a successful challenge has been made, the plaque will then be available for challenge at the next meeting of the possessing Chapter.  This process will then begin again.

6. No Chapter can re-gain possession of the plaque until it has been taken from the Chapter in which the said Chapter presented it to. (Example: If Chapter A has the plaque and Chapter B comes and takes possession, then Chapter A can not re-gain possession from Chapter B. They must wait until another Chapter has taken it.)

7. When the plaque is full a new plaque will be issued to take its place.  The full plaque will be awarded at the next District event to the Chapter that captured the plaque the most times.

Sectional Traveling Plaques

Each sectional Traveling plaque will be awarded by the possessing Chapter in the following manner.

1. Each full or associate member attending your meeting from your area (East, Middle, West) will be given a ticket.  (Door prize tickets work fine for this)

2. At the beginning of the meeting a special drawing will be held to determine who will take custody of the plaque.  No member of the possessing Chapter may win the plaque.  Drawing should be conducted until a winner from another Chapter is chosen.

 
3. It does not matter how many members a Chapter has at your meeting, everyone visiting your Chapter Meeting or function has a chance to capture the plaque for your area.

4. It is the responsibility of the Chapter Director of the Chapter who acquires the plaque to notify the Assistant District Director for your area so that the information can be published and everyone notified of the location of the plaque.

5. When the plaque is full a new plaque will be issued to take its place.  The full plaque will be awarded to a Chapter at the next District event.  Each Chapter will receive one ticket for every instance that they captured the plaque and the awarding of the Plaque will be determined by a drawing.
