In addition to the above competitions, the Bucks County Academy of
Fencing (address above) holds competitions almost every Sunday during
the summer, during the official fencing "off season." These are not
USFA competitions, but we have permission from the USFA to hold them
and they are fenced according to USFA rules. You do not have to be
a USFA member to come to the BCAF summer competitions. If you would
like to receive copy of the BCAF summer schedule when it comes out,
drop me an email note with your name and address, and tell me whether
you'd rather get the schedule via e-mail or snail-mail.
