Rail Station), please let me know. Long weekends are very difficult for people living in the encampment because there are very few services open. I'm going to bring some food, drinks, bedding etc. but if you'd like to bring stuff too that would be great! Or
you can drop off at my house on Sunday: 511 Chesapeake Crescent. <span style="font-family:"Segoe UI Emoji",sans-serif">
