It provides a diverse information resource and the extensively used website averages around 1000 visits every day.
The organisation also maintains an established network of knowledgeable contacts and links with many Robin Hood related interests including: - the legend and its historical and academic associations; places of interest and tourist attractions; movies, television, documentary, DVD and computer game productions; literary, artistic, musical and dramatic connections; collectables and miscellaneous trivia; talks, guided tours and accommodation; costume and weaponry hire and re-enactment groups.
The Society has successfully campaigned along with other pressure groups on numerous Robin Hood related issues and also lent its support to various good causes and promotional initiatives.
