How to Join

Annual Membership is £250 +VAT per annum (single site price) and there are a full range of Membership Benefits for operators to take advantage of. You can download joining forms from the Full Membership page.
Associate Membership
The PPA Associate membership has been specifically created to assist play operators before they launch. This will give you a head start in the industry and will help you to better understand the market place through a regular e-newsletter. The PPA has also written a highly successful Start Up Guide for new operators giving advice and case studies from PPA members. We have also on this site put together a specific Start Ups section for new operators. As an association we do not wish for more competition in this exceptionally tight market place, but we do want to educate new operators and encourage them to be new, different and unique with their centres. Associate membership is £100+ VAT per annum and forms are available from the Associate Membership page.
Suppliers Scheme
The PPA suppliers scheme is new. The PPA was becoming much more frequently contacted by suppliers seeking to work with PPA members. Whilst maintaining our independance, and without having "recommended suppliers", the PPA suppliers scheme was created to faciliate introductions between suppliers and PPA members via the PPA website directory. We encourage suppliers to offer PPA members specific cost saving offers and have 3 levels of supplier membership which are detailed on the Suppliers Scheme section
