Category IconLodge 296: 2007 Fall Fellowship

Posted in Nayawin Rar 296, SR-7B Lodges by John E. Pannell on December 31st, 2007 at 1:06 am

This is the second of two recent issues from Nayawin Rar lodge sent to me by Greg Grimes. This fellowship is an adaptation of the black and white motif used on several recent flaps from this lodge. They are proof that you can have a nice looking patch without using lots of colors.

Fall Fellowship should have been sometime ago, but I only just heard word of this patch just now. It seems my usual sources of information have let me down on these two latest patches. ;)

Category IconLodge 296: 2006 Quality Lodge Flap

Posted in Nayawin Rar 296, SR-7B Lodges by John E. Pannell on December 30th, 2007 at 1:05 am

Greg Grimes sent me word a couple of days ago of two new issues from Nayawin Rar lodge. The first of these was a lodge flap issued for the lodge achieving Quality Lodge status in 2006.

Some might think it odd that that lodge would issue a flap in late 2007 to honor their 2006 quality lodge status. When asked about this, I jokingly responded that the ability to make a quick decision is not a requirement to be a quality lodge.

Posted in Nayawin Rar 296, SR-7B Lodges by John E. Pannell on April 26th, 2007 at 3:31 am

This is the smallest lodge in our section yet they consistently bring about half their membership to the section conclave each year. Imagine if all lodges were as active.

Nayawin Rar adopted a Star Wars theme for their conclave delegation. Like Klahican and Tsoiotsi Tsogalii, their flap uses a minimal number of colors.

Category IconLodge 296: New 2003 Conclave Fake Found

Posted in Nayawin Rar 296, SR-7B Lodges by John E. Pannell on February 21st, 2007 at 10:00 pm

Yet another fake of a 2003 conclave flap has recently surfaced on eBay. Greg Grimes tipped me off to its appearance on eBay early this morning. This time it is the S32 that has been faked.

The seller of this piece, patch-works, has a reputation for selling fakes. Barring other evidence, you can safely assume anything he sells is a outright fake or Chang-type fake. Continue Reading »

Category IconNayawin Rar 2006 Events Issues

Posted in Nayawin Rar 296, SR-7B Lodges by John E. Pannell on December 12th, 2006 at 12:33 am

Over the next few weeks, I will be posting a year end round of of lodge events issues for this past year. For some lodges I have no information, so unless someone tells me what event patches their lodge has made this past year the update will be very short.

Consider this a not so subtle hint and request: If your lodge events issues are not yet on OAImages.com, please send the information and scans along to me.
