Wick Wanderers celebrated their 20th anniversary on Sunday 22nd February.
Nearly 30 members took part in an anniversary walk to mark the occasion, which retraced the inaugural walk from 2006. Several members of the original walking group are still members some 20 years later and took part in the event, as well as others who were unable to take part in the walk, but joined as special guests later on.
Before setting off on the walk, a photo was taken outside Wick Village Hall, which has been the traditional starting point of all walks and this replicated the photo taken on the original walk. The walk was approximately 3 miles, mostly on road due to the weather conditions, however the group did have to contend with some flooded areas en-route.
The enjoyable walk was followed by well-deserved refreshments of coffee/tea and cakes hosted at Wick’s own coffee house – The Nook. Delicious anniversary cupcakes were supplied by Chrissie’s Cakes & Bakes based in Porthcawl.
The event also collected funds for the Wales Air Ambulance by member donations, as well as a raffle, where a total of just under £225 was raised.
Wick Wanderers currently have 50 members from Wick and the surrounding areas of St Brides Major, Ogmore by Sea, Llantwit Major and Bridgend and walk around 3 times a month in local areas and sometimes further afield.
