A Note about the relationship
of ACFA to the Amarillo College fencing classes:
The
Fencing Classes at Amarillo College are part of the curriculum of the Personal Enrichment (aka Leisure Studies or
Continuing Education) Department of Amarillo College. While many individual members of AC Fencing Association (ACFA)
are involved as instructors for the fencing classes and even registered as students, ACFA is a completely separate organization.
ACFA requires all ACFA fencers to register for the appropriate AC Fencing Class.
If you have questions about the Fencing Classes
at Amarillo College, please contact Chuck Slaughter at chuck@acfencers.com.
