| 2004: Guided Literary Walk in Chester. |
| 2003: visit to Kent, in June. Tunbridge Wells, Chelsfield, Kemsing. |
| 2002: visits to Rode
Hall, Cheshire
(which has connections with both Randolph Caldecott and Walter Crane), and to Harrogate, Yorkshire. |
| 2001: visit to Buxton, in the Peak District of Derbyshire, in May. For details click here. |

The Society has a Research Officer, Barbara Howard, who follows up many lines of enquiry for us and to whom we gratefully owe the rediscovery of much of the information on this Website. Members are able to contact her with their queries about anything connected with Randolph Caldecott.
A separate area of interest is for those who are related to the Caldecott family. We try to advise members in reply to queries in this field. (See also "Family Tree" below on this page.)
Members are provided with a Directory of fellow members, so that, whether or not they are able to attend meetings, they can contact one another on matters of common interest, such as genealogy research or sharing information about availability of works by Randolph Caldecott. (In accordance with the Data Protection Act, only those details which members are willing to share with fellow-members are included.)

The Society has a beautifully-drawn Family Tree, A2 size, showing the Family Crest (black-and-white only, sorry!) and Randolph Caldecott's ancestors and relatives from about 1300 (the reign of King Edward II or earlier) to 1985. Compiled by C G Dalby in 1985. Copies may be obtained from our Treasurer, price GB£ 2.00 inc P&P. (If you are buying from the USA, please send US $5 for one or $8 for two copies. Payment in bills please because we have no credit card facility and cheques in foreign currency cost too much to encash.)
