labor of said patches (currently approx. $75 for patch & top rocker).


Section 5: Enigma Business

**A5.001 Enigma MC business will be conducted only if a quorum of members is present ( a quorum
consists of a majority of full-patched members plus 1) == if a quorum is present, then a simple majority
will be all that is required to conduct club business

**A5.002 Once adopted, these and all future by-laws can only be changed or amended by satisfying A5.001
above and with the consent of Theodore Rush (founder of the club)


Section 6: Chapter Clubs & "Strays"

**A6.001 The Amarillo chapter of Enigma MC will be known as the "Mother Club"

**A6.002 Enigma MC will have chapter clubs according to the folowing:
(a) A minimum of 3 members will be required to form a chapter.
(b) All chapter clubs will follow Mother Club bylaws unless "special" dispensation is granted by Mother Club.
(c) All chapter clubs will serve a minimum one year probationary period. During the
probationary period the charter members of the "new" chapter
will make a good faith effort (as determined by Mother Club) to become aquainted with all patched
members of the Mother Club. (This will of course depend on "physical restraints"
imposed by distance, etc.)
(d) After the probationary period is served, various chapters will be required to attend at least
one meeting per year of "Mother Club" (meeting site to be determined and will depend on "physical restraints").
Failure of various chapters to send a quorum of members to this meeting will result in the
offending chapter being placed on probation for one year after
which, the full membership status will be reinstated ( provided chapter complies with
attendance guidelines) or chapter will surrender their charter as chapter of Enigma MC.

**A6.003 For those interested in riding with an Enigma MC patch but not able to
affliliate with regular club or start seperate chapter, we have a "Stray" division.
"Stray" members will be under the same guidelines as chapter clubs but will be
considered members of "Mother Club."
