The Grand Master's Traveling Gavel (GMTG) is an award passed among Blue Lodges under the jurisdiction of the Grand Lodge of the State of Alabama.
The lodge that currently holds the GMTG will present the gavel to the Lodge with the most visitors at their next meeting (regular or special), and so forth.
The goal is to circulate this gavel to as many lodges as possible, and then present it as a parting gift to the Grand Master at the following year's Grand Lodge Annual Communication.
After Grand Lodge's Annual Communication, a new gavel will be placed into circulation and would ultimately be presented to the next Grand Master at the end of his year as the MWGM.

Reporting:
When your lodge wins the GMTG, you should update the Grand Lodge Website that night, to allow Brethren the chance to plan a trip to come get it.
When to give gavel:
Once you Lodge obtains the gavel, it must be given at your next meeting (doesn't matter if its regular or special), if there are guest present, they get it.
Dual Members:
Dual Members may count toward ANY lodge they are a member of. If "Brother Jones" is a Member of Lodge A and Lodge B, then when counting visitors to see who gets the gavel, he may stand and be counted for BOTH Lodges A and B
this is left up to the individual Brother as to how they would like to be counted.
Ties:
In the event there are more than one visiting Lodge, and there is a tie for the Gavel:
- If one Lodge has held this gavel and one has not then the Lodge who has not held the Gavel should be awarded the Gavel.
- If both of the Lodges HAVE had the gavel, then the one who travelled the FARTHEST to get it, should be awarded the Gavel.
