We will notify all fencers if this change is made by email. PLEASE NOTE THAT THE LOCATION OF THE TOURNAMENT HAS CHANGED! Amarillo College Fencing Salle Russell Hall, Room 104 Washington Street Campus Amarillo, TX The venue was changed due to the relatively small number of fencers who have pre-registered for the tournament from clubs other than AC Fencing Association. The venue is much smaller now but it will be more convenient to hotels, restaurants and the homes of the fencers. DIRECTIONS TO VENUE The AC Fencing Salle is located in Russell Hall on the northeast corner of 24th and Washington in Amarillo, Texas.
