BEST FOOT FOR WARD:

The Newport Muster is a multi-role event s of the historic town of Newport Pagnell. In particular, we want to draw attention to Bury Field, an area of 180 acres of undulating common land at the heart of the town. Established the best part of 1000 years ago, it was originally open cultivation la inhabitants and later to allow free grazing for cattle and the community's general amenity . We also want to highlight the long history and heritage of Newport Pagnell s and then and the town's role as an import for Cromwell's men, during the Civil Wars of the 17th century. But above all we hope the Muster will prove a memorable and enjoyable day for all the walkers who take p art, together with their families and friends.

Key objectives of the event are to: Demonstrate s of Bury Field as a well-loved amenity highlighting, for example, its enduring open-space attraction set against today's rush for development Raise funds for worthy causes, and especially those in the town Provide an opportunity to improve personal health and exercise Attract visitors to the town, enhancing its trade and reputation Broaden general education and knowledge of local history Enrich pride in the community and foster greater involvement Organisers : The Newport Muster is organised by a group of residents and voluntary supporters of the town of Newport Pagnell. Calling themselves 'The Levellers', the group includes Richard Meredith (founder), Kenton White, Steve Tearle (walk marshal), Steve Williams (registrations), and Viv Wilson (admin & charity panel), Jane Williams (treasurer), and Ross Abbs.
