another important note: dew effects from the netball court and surrounding area can be particularly evident. so for those (especially mak and SCT owners) you may like to step up on preventive measures like dew controllers and heat packs.

no harm bringing if you intend to make hot drinks or cook noodles in the middle of the night. However, do note that the rooms will have an electrical kettle flask for boiling of water and also some tea/coffee satchets.
