. You can't park on the street, so bring your items in a roller case. A rug on the floor works fine, but a table will work as well.
Help needed
We are looking for party tents which we will set up on the grass. Is there anyone with a party tent which we can use for the day? Additionally, we are seeking a number of volunteers who like to help with children crossing the bus lane and others to help serving our tasty snacks. Any help is greatly appreciated.
