***  Latest News for Members  *** For a number of reasons the Society has now had to cancel both planned visits to the Lady Lever Art Gallery & Museum and to Weston Park.  We are sorry for any inconvenience and disappointment this may cause. We do have an alternative visit planned to Calke Abbey on 12th September.  Please see our Events page for further information. The Editors of Journal 7 wish to remind all who intend to submit an article for inclusion that it should be with them as soon as possible after 1st June 2012 and  NO LATER THAN 31ST JULY. A production timetable has been agreed with our printers.

Throughout the summer months, Royal Crown Derby is holding a major exhibition to mark the Diamond Jubillee of HM The Queen. The Society is proud to be helping with promoting this Exhibition, which focuses on the links between Royal Crown Derby and the Royal Family which date back to c1760. On our Exhibitions page you will find full details, plus a special on-line exhibition of photographs taken at Royal Crown Derby on the occassion of some of the Royal visits.  In addition to the Royal visitors, these photographs show various aspects of porcelain production at the factory, together with the men and women who made their living there.  We hope you will enjoy them.
