14 Fencers from ACT and NSW took part in  the 2010 ACTFA Referee Course, held at Mackillop College Wanniassa July 17-18 2010.  The course was presented by  FIE Referee David Mok. The skills and extra knowledge the trainee-referees take back to their clubs will help raise not only the standard of refereeing in the ACT and help ACT refereeing stay in touch with the latest developments in refereeing, but also improve their own fencing. ACTFA runs Referee courses each year.
