Lodge #172 Otahnagon eS2006 Winter Banquet Flap
Lodge 172 has issued a flap for its 2006 Winter Banquet. Although its flap shaped, by Blue book Conventions, it is an event patch, so will likely be numbered as the eS2006.

Hi Bill-
I am curious as to why this flap-patch will receive an event designation? Perhaps I do not understand the system, but my understanding is that other flap shaped event patches (NOAC flaps, Conclave flaps, Indian Summer flaps, etc.) receive the flap designation. Why the departure on Winter Banquets?

Ray,
The Blue Book definition is e = Event Issue. Event issues are items by a lodge for an activity such as an ordeal, fellowship, banquet or reunion. They do not include contingent items for Jamborees, NOAC’s or Conclaves. Event items are listed by their year, not by their shape. This allows chronological listing and easy future additions of missing items. Event items are usually collect by date.
While there have likely been some inconsistancies, I have been trying to follow the naming guidelines for BB.
Good trading,
Bill
