Gillian and Sheila met to distribute leaflets for Norden Farm's upcoming Lantern Parade, to houses on 3 estates known to house families with young children. We started off with a heavy backpack containing about 400 leaflets. On the first estate we could only deliver to the houses - we could not access the mailboxes of the apartments. On the second estate it was all houses , so we successfully delivered to those. Gillian helpfully wore a yellow coat so she was easy to find again when we split up. The third estate more helpfully had boxes for post on the outside of the apartment buildings, so those could be delivered efficiently. We still had lots of leaflets left, so we delivered to houses along the roads on the way back home, and then delivered the remainder to houses local to our homes. We were so focused on delivering that we forgot to take any photos, so I've put my Strava route instead - a good contribution to December's walking challenge!

Norden Farm Centre for the Arts
We believe that everyone should have the chance to experience and participate in high quality, transformative and life enhancing arts events.

Norden Farm Centre for the Arts is built on the site of an ancient farm on the outskirts of Maidenhead, Berkshire in the South East of England. We are a thriving arts centre, averaging 150 events a season, and open 7 days a week. In 2016-17 we engaged with over 180,000 people. Our spaces include an art gallery, studio theatre, main auditorium for film and live performance, Café Bar, a Georgian farmhouse and 18th century Long Barn. The award winning architecture links the contemporary with the two listed buildings.
