CSSP CAMP NEW DETAILS

Hey guyz.
sry for the confusion. I have edited the previous post for the meeting attire.
Besides that, answering the questions you asked,

1. For now, there will not be any payments that need to be made for the camp.
2. The t-shirts: the packing list says 6 school based shirts and in brackets 2 dark-coloured. This means that the dark coloured shirts should be school-based. If you don't have this, then any other is ok.
3. For those who have mess tins, you may want to bring them along (although i personally don't think we will need cuz its not stated in the list)
4. For those who dont have enough shorts, you can bring any others.

HOWEVER, NONE OF THE THINGS YOU BRING MUST HAVE ANY VULGAR/OBSCENE/(you know that sort of things) ON IT. (eg. shirts with bad words on them are not allowed etc...)

Any other questions, please let me know asap.

Cheerio!
