But now is your chance to re-live scenes from Sunderland and County Durham in 1980.
We have got the Barnes Park ladies bowls team in action as well as the Washington Operatic Society which was getting ready for a waltz.
Roker Victory Club and the Vaux School of Sport also get our attention in a selection of photos from the Sunderland Echo archives.
Join us for a look back on a bygone era.
