Can I hold your drink bottle?
- Details
In a bid to help identify and support ACT Fencers at competitions we now have drink bottles. The premise is if you need support at a competition you can ask someone to hold your drink bottle or if you want to offer support you can ask to hold their drink bottle. We have been trialing this at a few events with great success. All competing ACTFA fencers will receive a free drink bottle at the ACT State Championships to encourage this initiative.
