One resource that seems invaluable in Folkestone history terms would seem to be A Descriptive and Historical Account of Folkestone and Its Neighbourhood, with Gleanings from the Municipal Records, quite a mouth full, usually referred to as just Mackie (or Folkestone and its neighbourhood. That has a mention of The Radnor Club, on page 97, this index to it says so...
I've found this research quite fascinating, I didn't realise how easy it would be to get a copy of the long out of print Mackie, I'm getting one.

This is part of my site The 'Gerald that I set up in a fury of excitement when I first came to Folkestone sometime in '04. I'd been a frequent visitor for a few years previous to that but I am technically one of those Down From Londons you get nowadays. The site used to be updated more frequently with a calendar of events + voting for best venues + things, and I know it was a handy reference for others who were moving to the area. Now I've moved out of Folkestone again (though only a couple of miles) it doesn't get as much attention as it used to. Ironic really as Folkestone itself is now becoming the exciting place we knew it was about to become. My name is not Gerald BTW, this comes from a pretend paper in an episode of Brasseye or something, the Portsmouth Gerald, and how there is a local paper here called the Folkestone Herald. Puns like this are great aren't they? Do contact me if you have anything to offer, email anythign @ this domain, or try @folkestone or @pauly on Twitter.
