Ringwood Training
The Ringwood SC Car Show held at Ringwood Training was a great success.
The Car Show was organised by Adam Bryant, School Chaplain and supported by the Chaplaincy Committee. Ringwood Training’s auto staff, Alan Platt and Peter McLeod ensured that the Auto Centre was in tip top condition to host the show.
