At the conclusion of the training,

if you remain inside the church building, you will be able to access your car at any point.

If you leave the church building (for example, to get dinner afterwards), you will need to move your car as you will not have after hours access to the building and therefore no access to the carpark lift. (Our volunteers will provide Foyer access until 6pm only).
