Does your motorcycle club have a Sergeant at Arms? This position is sometimes elected, sometimes appointed, and sometimes it's more of an honorary position. A Sergeant at Arms usually doesn't have too much to do, but some clubs like to keep the position around. If you have one, he or she needs this Sgt At Arms Patch White. It denotes the rank and lets everyone know who can kick them out of a meeting! It's one of the Club Patches on The Cheap Place.
What exactly does a Sergeant at Arms do? This office used to be appointed by a governing body such as a legislature to keep order during meetings. Sergeants at Arms can be appointed by any group, and it's not uncommon for clubs and other organizations to have one. It is, however, also somewhat uncommon for the Sergeant at Arms to actually have to eject anyone from a meeting. Unless the topic is very polarizing and hotly debated, most people keep their cool and don't need to be removed from a meeting. At one point, the Sergeant at Arms had other duties, including collecting loans and even appropriating manpower and materials for the organization. The role has lost much of its powers over the years, and it many places, the title is just ceremonial.
Be sure your Sergeant of Arms has one of these white patches identifying him or her. The patch measures three inches by one inch and can be ironed on to the front of most jackets or vests. If you're putting it on something leather, you'll want to sew it on so the heat from the iron on doesn't ruin the material. Many clubs purchase wholesale patches for their club officers. This saves the club money and makes sure you have plenty of patches on-hand for years to come.
