In the following years the club developed to serve both the ardent collector of Clarice's pottery and those with just an academic interest. By 1988 Leonard had found so much information that with American enthusiasts Louis and Susan Meisel he produced what became the 'definitive book' 'Clarice Cliff: The Bizarre Affair' . It brought about a new era of Clarice Cliff appreciation, led to the CCCC Conventions in Britain, Christie's ALL Clarice Cliff auctions, and several exhibitions.

In 1995 Leonard was consultant and writer for  'The Rich Designs of Clarice Cliff' and was then asked to produce a book just on Clarice's teapots.  'Taking Tea with Clarice Cliff' was issued in 1996 and went through two hardback editions, and attracted thousands of new enthusiasts to Clarice. Interest was by this time so high that for 1998 he issued 'The Fantastic Flowers of Clarice Cliff' which is published in Britain by Pavilion, and in America was taken by Abrams.

For 1999, Clarice's Centenary year, Wedgwood who own the Clarice Cliff name, planned an exhibition celebrating her achievements and asked Leonard to be the official consultant for it. Through the CCCC. over 600 pieces were assembled and displayed at the Wedgwood Museum at Barlaston. Leonard's centenary year book,  'Clarice Cliff: The Art of Bizarre' linked to the exhibition and included many pieces from it. In it he updated the whole story with a mass of new information and at 70,000 words long, it was the most comprehensive work ever published on Clarice Cliff. 

Today, the club membership runs at over 500, with devotees from America, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa. But throughout the years since 1982, the club's aim has remained unchanged: it has always been to educate members about Bizarre pottery, inform them of trends in prices and rarity, and enable them to meet to share their mutual interest. Clarice's prolific output means new designs and shapes are still being catalogued. The Reviews were replaced in 2005 by a more efficient on-line collector’s area, featuring news in the Clarion, and Pattern Post, and several archive areas. It features articles on all her output illustrated with archive material, and many use our ‘Fantasque Flash’ technology to show the ware from all angles.

Collectors have the chance to meet and to learn from each other at our Conventions. Often held in Stoke on Trent, they have also been staged in Wales, Berkshire, and even the Art Deco Burgh Island Hotel in Devon! During the Stoke Conventions members visit places Clarice lived and worked and until recently met her "Bizarre Girls" who held their Annual re-union with us. Sadly most of these women, who were friends to many members, have now passed away.

In 2002, our Twentieth Anniversary year, we had a major event kindly hosted by Christie's South Kensington. We brought the original Clarice Cliff writers Peter Wentworth-Sheilds and Kay Johnson to London from their home in Illinois in America. They were working for Stanley Kubrick on films such has 'Clockwork Orange' and 'Space Odyssey' when they became fanatical about Clarice's work. They soon assembled a major collection and researched her story between 1969 and 1975. As well as finding some of the Bizarre 'girls' they also met Duncan Grant and even once spoke to Clarice herself on the telephone. Their ground breaking book, published by L'Odeon inspired most of today's collectors in the years before 'Bizarre Affair' was published in 1988.

Peter and Kay gave an interesting, in-depth lecture about how the Clarice Cliff story evolved in the seventies, their exhibition at L'Odeon, and the fabrics, wallpapers and borders they designed which were issued by a London store. Seeing Kay's pictures taken on the set of Clockwork Orange at the time put it all into context.

Our most recent 25th Anniversary event was a celebratory Convention staged over a weekend in August. Saturday we were in a 1933 ‘packing shop’ at Burgess Dorling & Leigh in Burslem, with lecturers from America, Australia and Britain who held collectors spellbound. Some members brought nearly all their collection to display, and the true Cliffies went down to the canalside shard ruck to dig up the breakages of Clarice’s pottery from 70 years ago! 

On the Sunday we had another of our renowned Chetwynd House Garden Parties thanks to Professor Flavia Swann and her partner John, who live in Clarice’s former home. We toasted Clarice and the CCCC on the lawn of Chetwynd House and Flavia served a delicious home made buffet which members enjoyed in the splendidly re-created garden made famous in 'Fantastic Flowers of Clarice Cliff'. Stalwart Clarice Cliff Collectors Club member Terry Abbotts had a stall of hand painted ware in Clarice Cliff style; on Saturday he had painted Blue Crocus in front of amazed members!

We have also held local meetings, in Canada, New Zealand and Australia over the years, and Australian membership grew faster than any other in 2007, so we are truly an international club.

Our phenomenally successful website, was creatively developed by club member and keen collector Andrew Hutton. Initially, as a complementary source of information for new Clarice enthusiasts and students, but now we focus our attention on it, with the Open Forum discussion board, and the member’s area. Collectors can now satiate their interest in Clarice from anywhere in the world, on the Web. With its instant feedback, claricecliff.com is an important and established part of the club. To enable us to serve whole new generations of collectors who discover Clarice's pottery we developed a full internet membership area, (membership details link) and this gives details of our plans for the future after celebrating 25 years of the CCCC in 2007.
