Wick women take trip down memory lane to when Wick Ladies’ Jogging Club was formed Memories of a running club that was founded more than 40 years ago are shared in the latest addition to the Wick Voices oral history collection. In a 20-minute recording, Linda Smith, Jeannie Simpson and Catherine MacAulay share a few reminiscences about Wick Ladies’ Jogging Club which began in 1984. They recall how the club created lasting friendships, encouraged women of different abilities, and offered a strong sense of support and belonging. Club members entered fun runs, 10k events, half-marathons, marathons and triathlons while also taking part in swimming, hillwalking, cycling and kayaking.
