| Anyone from Golden Gate Fencing Center?
I will be visiting San Francisco by July for a few days. As a veteran (recreational) foil fencer from Germany, i would like to stop by and take a look at the Center to see how training is like in the US. Does anyone know if they accept visitors there? (I have seen the website, but they only invite potential new members and parents 
Any idea whom to talk about the matter at the center ? |

| Hi,
We love visitors at GGFC!
However, US national championships will be going on in July form the first through the tenth, and we will be closed for them and for a little while after. When will you be in the area?

| Yeah, too bad. I don't think there's a single club that will be open during the Summer Nationals. Rather, any club that is open during Summer Nationals won't be representative of how fencing is done in the US.

| But please do come by for summer nationals! I'm sure you can find a few foilists willing to fence you to warm up.
