2012 Muster - Saturday 8th September.
The Newport Muster, a festival of walks in and around the historic town of Newport Pagnell, is taking place on Saturday September 8th 2012.
We have four spectacular walks for you to choose from: 3, 6, 8 or 15 miles!
There is the ever popular Picnic Walk around Bury Field; a Beer Walk around the Historic Hostelries of Newport Pagnell and including Bury Field; a Spirits Walk to include the Haunted Places in Newport Pagnell; a circular Walk to Willen and back. More details to follow.
You can walk for charity or just for fun. Our local charity this year is Willen Hospice so you can choose them or a charity of your choice. It’s a fun day for everyone so why not enter a team of friends, family, work organisation or your local club? We have prizes for the youngest and oldest walkers, largest group and best fancy dress.
All our walkers receive an official programme, walk card and certificate as proof they’ve been muster’d. Polo shirts and commemorative medals are also available to make this your special day. You can also find us on Facebook.
Start any time from 10am at the United Reformed Church Hall, Newport Pagnell (latest for 15 milers is 12 noon).
