Most importantly, you should be prepared for diverse weather.
Ilford is the type of place where you can get all four seasons in one day.
Therefore, ensure the family has hats and clothing for potentially warm/hot
weather for the day as well as plenty of thermal gear for the night. This includes
warm head-gear. You should bring raincoats for everyone and suitable
footwear for dust/mud. Bring something to cover your scope if it rains.
Sleeping bags are essential as it can get cold at night.
Bring thongs for the showers.
Bring sunglasses for exceptionally sunny days on the field.
Expect dew.
Bring a fold-up chair for each family member.
There is virtually no correlation between the weather in Sydney
and that in Ilford.
Though the chances of snow during the SPSP are near zero, it can
snow there in winter as it is at some altitude.
Hopefully the weather will be good and not extreme but statistically
it has rained at many of the SPSP's.
See you there!
