The member's only area was introduced to the web site early 2004. The objective was to produce a password-protected area where TPA member's could easily keep abreast of their membership status, discuss business via a forum facility and access a wide range of industry-orientated information, useful tips & data. The area continues to expand and diversify and currently contains the following sections:
|

The committee also welcomes suggestions from the membership for items of interest for inclusion within the section, and there is a facility for submitting ideas already active within the area.
