Note that cases where there's no mention, often this will
be because no-one mentioned the club. Often that is simply because the person
quoting Lloyd's simply focused on a Personal Signal; it does not necessarily
mean the publication that year did not include the yacht club at all.
The only other flag was a common
Yacht Past Commodore flag, used for the Commodore Emeritus in 2020 when the
club selected a new commodore after the previous one finished a 27 year
stint.
