PDG Peter Moreton, D1070 EnglandInitially, it was the "1911" clubs which caused the expansion of what was then a much smaller project called "RotaryFirstFifty" to "RotaryFirst100" in order that the early clubs of the UK and Ireland might be included. Since then, two historians in the UK have joined the project, and, as you can see on the left, much of the early history from "Across the Pond," has been added. Our history fellows have provided us with background on the early clubs, RI and RIBI presidents and many other interesting histories. You'll enjoy the story of the "Forgotten Editor" and all the other heritage of Rotary in Ireland and the UK. Also, read the story of the "missing" Rotarian David Shelly Nicholl, an editor of the RIBI magazine. Also read the article that preceded one of our historian's book "Paul Harris in England."
