Joe LockmanGuestMark QuinnHostMy guest in this episode is a man whose name is woven into the very fabric of civic and sporting life in our town of Bray, and that's Joe Lockman.
If you've ever been involved in a community group in Bray, you've likely come across Joe's legacy.
He was a man of boundless energy and a true pillar of the community, dedicating his life to making the town a better place to live.
To sports fans, he's perhaps best known as a foundational figure in the Bray Wheeler Cycling Club.
In fact, back in 1958, Joe personally devised the Shea-Elliott, a gruelling single-day race taking in the toughest terrain in County Wicklow and that remains a premier event in the Irish cycling calendar to this day.
With Christy Bryan, he spent years preserving local folklore and history, eventually becoming a familiar presence at the Bray Heritage Centre in the Old Courthouse before its closure.
This conversation explores his life, offering a nostalgic look at Old Bray and the many local organisations he helped to establish.
