Those that do will announce on 122.90. Powered aircraft should use runway 13/31, as gliders often land on 6/24. When landing 31, stay high enough on base and final so aircraft on the ground can see you over the buildings. Transient parking is in the short-cut grass between runway 13/31 and the parallel road. When departing, taxi in a full circle at the runup area (at the intersection of the runways) once you are ready to roll to make sure there is no conflicting traffic in the pattern.
