Refreshments
There are a number of food & drink vendors located within walking distance from the venue, but we recommend bringing your own sandwiches, snacks and water.
We advise against bringing any food with any kind of sauce as it may leak and possibly stain your uniform. We also strongly advise against eating or drinking while wearing your uniform, please put your tracksuit on over to avoid any accidents.
Parking
There is plenty of space in the campus car park, but with so many attendees, please make sure you allow enough time so you are not in a rush.
Good luck Warriors!
