This website, together with those of MTGC and other TGAs, uses the web-ring concept. All websites use the standard theme. Certain data are shared over different websites. For example, when MTGC posted a new event in its calendar, that event (tagged with "MTGC:") will automatically appear in PTGA's calendar in the next hour. Any message that you post under the Forum will also appear in the other 6 websites.
Please invite other fellow TGs here. It is time that all members start using the Internet. In the future, many announcement will only be made on the web. May this new site also improve the communication among PTGA members.
