Mo Turner, President of the SAPCT, said: “I would like to take this opportunity to thank Forth Valley College for their hospitality and for kindly offering to host the competitions. Many thanks to their staff who have donated a lot of time and effort to help make it an amazing venue, and to the Management Committee Members of the SAPCT who have produced excellent test pieces, and secured fantastic sponsorship, goodie bags, and prizes for all competitors and winners.
“This competition allowed apprentices the opportunity to showcase their practical skills, of which I’m sure excellent standards will be produced on the day. I sincerely hope all competitors thoroughly enjoyed the experience.”
