TAFF Publications On Line

David Langford writes, 2014: I've been finding it hard to keep this duplicate list up to date, and the "quicker to load and navigate" isn't much of an issue in these days of broadband when the Big List (All the Past TAFF Races) is quite a modestly sized web page. So I am increasingly inclined to stop adding to this page and merely link to Big List coverage. Hence the recent [in progress: see Big List] links below.

The chronological TAFF Newsletters page added to this site in November 2017 presents and where possible links to past newsletters in a format clearer than the crowded table below.

Year numbers link to the relevant ballots, and delegate names to the Big List. Trip reports marked "[partial]" are complete in print but not on line; "[trip notes]" indicates diary jottings not intended as a full report.
