Grass Area CLOSED

Hi All,

Due to the maintenance of the grass area, it will be temporarily  closed for two weeks. Please don’t access the grass area because supplier used organic manure on it.

Thank you for your understanding and support.

This is the final chance to take action based on the feedback you have received via your advisor or from me via MB or email.
