“AMCAL” stands for Associated Matchcover Clubs of California, and, just as the name implies, it’s all of the California clubs together...and that’s the biggest association in the
hobby, simply because California has always been able to correctly boast the largest number of regional clubs of any state. Over the years, the specific clubs have occasionally changed as, for example, the Golden Orange and Northern California clubs disappeared and our own Sierra-Diablo came upon the scene, but AMCAL has always represented the California contingent of the hobby—those wacky and wonderful people from out West.  

And, AMCAL puts on the annual AMCAL Convention...the biggest and best convention west of the Mississippi. Next year's convention will be our 53rd.
