OC website - content needed

We need some articles on subjects connected with Surrey rugby, rugby at the Club, 2nd and B 15 teams, junior rugby - and anything else relevant. Please do what you can to help out here.

Rules formatting
You may have noticed that we have various sets of rules, including the Laws of Rugby and so on, on the Resources page. We thought this material would be useful as it's hard to find otherwise - especially with the RFU website in the state it's in. However, converting this material in bulk for web publishing is not a five-minute job, and the first cut & paste result is often gibberish. If anyone can help with this task, please let the webmaster know. All you need to do is look through the pages and correct errors by reference to the original document (probably a PDF).

We have some more of this material to go up, but there isn't much point till the first lot is fully sorted. All help gratefully received.
