                                                                               EXPLANATORY NOTE  
             
             
London, England #50 was formed by Arthur Sheldon of the Chicago club #1 and an English associate in 1911
Dublin, Ireland #65 and Belfast Ireland #67 were formed in 1911 by William Stuart Morrow, formerly of the San 
Francisco club #2, who also formed Glasgow, Scotland #60 and Edinburgh, Scotland #62 in 1912
             
These clubs were not chartered until December 2, 1913 and the delay is explained by RGHF Senior Historian Basil
Lewis that their formation of some RIBI clubs was sometimes not reported to Chicago for some years.
