Fencing Central invites all interested members of our community to attend the free 2025 refereeing course on Sunday the 19th of October, running from 10am-5pm at Brooklyn, Wellington.

The course will be run by FIE B level referee and National Referee Michael Claydon, with a specific focus on priority weapon refereeing.

Prior refereeing experience is preferred to maximise value from this course, but is not required. The course is designed to be approachable and understandable for both developing referees and fencers who are looking to better understand fencing as well as becoming regional or national level referees. 

This course is provided free of charge by Fencing Central.
