USFA membership

[KShan5[PrFC]]

I was just checking out my usfa card at home and I saw I was only a member for another month. I have not even been fencing for a year, and I am wondering if I will get something through the mail to renew my membership, or if I have to find it off-line.

Check out your copies of American Fencing magazine it usually has the renewal forms on it.

You can also get the form online on the USFA web site.

Take out a Life membership and stop having to worry about it.

Well, I haven't seen my last issue of AF (I hope Mrs. Mergs is bringing it with when she visits in a week) and the form that is on line is for 2001-2002. Does any one have a .pdf version? Or perhaps someone could PM me and I'll give them a fax number. Thx,

Ever since I tried to get an article printed in American Fencing, I haven't received the magazine yet. Another reason may be because I joined the USFA in March 2001 and my year's subscription is over.

D'art,

Your membership is good until 7/31/02 regardless of the fact that you joined in March '01. USFA gives you a few months freebie when you join after Feb or March (not sure which month) so as to simplify their billing/accounting. If you haven't gotten your AF, well, not to worry, lately I don't think they have been the most consistent about getting issues out, let alone updating mailing addresses.

Okay, I knew that I had another month before I had to renew, I just thought that maybe American Fencing only ran for a year before you had to renew it.

You should remember the day that I joined the USFA. You and I had a friendly practice bout prior to the pools starting up that day.

You should receive a renewal notice in the mail. If not, go to <a href="http://www.usfencing.org," target="_blank">www.usfencing.org,</a> click on "Info for Members" then on "Forms". The latest membership form is for 2001-2002 season, so you'll need to wait until the end of July or August for the '02-'03 forms to get posted.

Cheers,
Craig

That's for COMPLETE newbies. Folks who rejoin the USFA after some hiatus don't get that freebie.
