About this session
Brown Books is a community-run second-hand bookshop in Hightown and the only dedicated book shop in Luton.
The bookshop is hosting Authorfest in November, a celebration of local authors and artists and there's a programme of half-term activities to promote as well. So our task will be to take to the streets of Hightown and deliver flyers letting the local residents know about all the events and encourage them to come along.
We'll meet as normal on the Bute Street stage opposite the hat factory, have a very short run to collect the flyers from the Bricklayers Arms pub, and then we'll keep on moving, delivering the flyers all over the area. When we're done, Maz has invited us to finish our evening with a round of drinks on the house back at the pub.
This task supports
Brown Books is a second hand bookshop open for a year as part of a pilot project with Luton Literature CIC and Luton Community Arts Trust. As well as ebing a treasure trove of preloved books they run a number of literary events, storytelling sessions, book readings and signings, poetry events, book clubs and other children's activities. The space is intended to encourage a love of reading and creative writing at any age and to promote early take up of reading in young children.

Dark task
The area you are working in may be in darkness which could cause a risk of trips or concealed hazards.
This is a GoodGym group run, with the option of walking too. You'll meet other GoodGymers at the start location and run or walk to the task together. If you're worried about any aspect of the session, contact your area activator David Mansfield by email at davidmansfield@goodgym.org.
Options are available to run between 1km and 2km in total.
Remember that we will be running or walking to and from the task, so you'll only be running or walking for half this distance in one go.
