Tent?
Welcome to the site, it's a great place and you'll get lots of help and advice!
Now seriously, things to remember - water container(s), couple of cloths or sponges to mop up spilled drinks etc, tin-opener - basically, try and think of things you use every day without thinking (if you know what I mean) - those are the things you forget until you're there!
