This week we were asked by Maz Brown of Brown books, Luton's community book shop, to take to the streets and deliver flyers advertising the upcoming Author Fest and half term events at the second-hand book shop.

It was only a short run to collect the leaflets from the pub, but we didn't hang about there, we kept going and delivered hundreds of flyers all over high town, with a short break in Peoples Park for a quick game of 'grab the cones'.

it was back to the pub with the few leftover flyers for a quick drink to refresh and round off the night.

This week's group run took us from the town centre, along the busway to Kingsway Recreation ground and the 61 Football Club. Club secretary Richard was waiting there to issue the evenings tasks:

• taking down the plastic ceiling light panels and giving them a scrub down. They'd got a bit grubby and stained from old roof leaks.
• clearing out the storage unit, vaccuming and reorganising all the bits nicely back inside.
• painting the entrance lobby the club's baby blue colour.

We got to work straight away having completed completed the 3.5k run there, did a great job of all the tasks and got to enjoy a selection of fun-sized chocolate and orange squash generously provided by Richard to refuel us before the return back back into town.

There was a good turn out from GoodGym to join the People's Park Litter Pick this morning, and despite the recent good weather the park wasn't too bad for litter. With the sun shining through the clouds, it was a lovely way to spend an hour so at the start of the weekend. With such a big group it was easy to get the park cleaned up, and by pairing up we were able to sort the litter from recyclables. We are always on the look out for unusual items, and GoodGymer Petros was pleased to find a petrol strimmer that had been discarded under one of the trees.
Well done team, we left the park looking prim (or strim) and proper, and clear of "party balloons" and sharps, tidy and safe for families to relax in over the weekend.

Pulling weeds that is! This week's group run was a trip out to finish weeding the young trees that we made a start on last week. unfortunately we found a couple more that hadn't survived the long hot summer but the rest all got their weeds pulled and mulch spread out to help them recover and prepare for winter.

We also welcomed Patrick to his first run session and once the trees were sorted out we had a little running game that involved running around to steal cones from the other players to be the first to collect three cones! It was a fun little warm-up to prepare for the return journey back into town.
