Runs Lists are of interest because they are a normally complete list of the DA's activities, including social events, and show where and how far we used to ride.
Annual Reports were never written to entertain, but they were intended to provide a comprehensive account of the DA's activities in just a couple of pages, so some of these may be added to the website at a later date. (Some Annual Reports were reproduced in the magazine.) The Annual Accounts are generally not that interesting - the DA has never gone bankrupt nor made a fortune! They, together with the DA's Minute Books (minutes of Annual General Meetings and committee meetings) are probably best left as source material for serious historians. (Once again, some AGM minutes were reproduced in the magazine.)
Finally, the DA has photograph albums. A selection of historic photographs will be added in due course.
My first attempt at this Runs List used an HTML* table and other standard HTML features, but I thought that some of the flavour of the original had been lost, although it is easier to extract the information. What do you think?

The original design of front cover, featuring a drawing of a Surrey scene by Chris Juden, was used up to March 2000.
When I started scanning magazines and converting them to web pages I supplied sets of four magazines to various people in W Surrey DA with a 'score sheet' for them to indicate which items they thought should be included and which excluded. I was surprised at how much some of their scores differed from my own. If in doubt, I have opted for inclusion. So if anyone, a reviewer or I, thought an article should go in, it did. This has resulted in a wide range of quality. The main types of exclusion are advertisements, runs lists (covered elsewhere) and items that are not particularly relevant to West Surrey DA.
In general I have not corrected errors. I regard these pages as archives, and their production as a task of transcription rather than editing. I have corrected obvious typographical errors in articles which are generally error-free. Other articles are so full of spelling, punctuation and grammatical errors that to correct them would be an excessive alteration of an archive, as well as being too time-consuming. So you will have to put up with "all these roughnesses, pimples and warts". They are, like the vibration of certain types of motorcycle, 'character'.
