> Membership is open to any serious student of the games with no dues beyond documented work in the field.
> Our communication media are mainly a web page (car-pga.org), discussion group (car-pga@google groups.com), and a monthly newsletter ($5.00 per year by email, $15.00 US and $20.00 elsewhere by snail mail hardcopy).
