This award recognises the services of individuals to the Group. This award has been gifted to us by WIOA. This service award is to be given to an individual in recognition of their commitment to the vision and philosophies of the Group and the active promotion of the Group.

This award is designed to complement the existing Life Membership which is the Group’s most prestigious award that is given for distinguished service to the Group over many years.

Every award needs to have a symbol, so that awardees are easily recognisable.

For this award the symbol is a twisted tap, in fact an inextricably obstructed tap.

The individuals are selected by fellow IDIOTS and at  the WIOG annual conference:

Inducted as
Delegates of the
Inextricably
Obstructed  
Tap
Society

The appropriate salutation to WIOA/WIOG IDIOTS is: “You idiot”

Whilst the appropriate response would be: “Get knotted”

At the 2019 Conference, one IDIOTS was presented with a gold Twisted Tap in recognition of their long and ongoing commitment to WIOG.
