    On a top level category page - when clicked I want it to display child level categories only (not grand-children). Each category has an image associated with it using the Category Images II plugin. I have also Meta data associated with the child categories using the Wp Category Meta plugin. I've got this code:

    <?php
    $currentcat = get_query_var('cat');
    $categories=get_categories('parent=3');
    if ($categories) {
      foreach($categories as $term) {
        echo '<div class="cat-holder">';
    	echo '<div class="image-holder">' . $term->ciii_category_archive_image .'</div>';
    	echo '<div class="cat-content">';
    	echo '<h2>' . $title . '<a href="' . get_category_link( $term->term_id ) . '" title="' . sprintf( __( "View all posts in %s" ), $term->name ) . '" ' . '>' . $term->name.'</a>'. '</h2>';
        echo '<p>' . get_post_meta ( $term->term_id, 'work_date', true ) . '</p>';
    	echo '</div>';
      }
    }
    ?>

    which brings up only child categories for the Cat-3 parent, but I don't know the syntax in this form of PHP mark-up to retrieve the category image or the meta data for the categories.
    Eventually I will also need to retrieve a linked list of of all grand-child categories associated with child categories - so users can either click the child category for an index of grand-child pages, or click directly to grandchild pages listed under child pages.
