| From Fancyclopedia 2, ca. 1959 |
| Hal Shapiro formed the Bachelors' Stf Association of the World, " Fandom's only fun organization", in 1951. (It recruited about 85 members before merging with TLMA in the summer of 1952.) The membership, despite the name, included femmes and married men. Shapiro issued a bulletin or two and wrote many propagandistic articles about the club for various fanzines, but never revealed a plan or a purpose, tho he said the club was "something for which fandom has long had a need". At one time he privately stated that BSAW was a genial hoax on fan organizations in general. |

| This is a club page. Please extend it by adding information about when and where the club met, when and by whom it was founded, how long it was active, notable accomplishments, well-known members, clubzines, any conventions it ran, external links to the club's website, other club pages, etc.
When there's a floreat (Fl.), this indicates the time or times for which we have found evidence that the club existed. This is probably not going to represent the club's full lifetime, so please update it if you can! |
