South Shields Ladies Circle and Men's Roundtable ran for decades before it came to an end over 20 years ago but former chair Jo has fond memories of her time with the group.
The Ladies Circle and the Roundtable was made up of women and men aged 18 to early 40s.
Together the groups would raise money for a number of local charities, give back to the community and a chance for members to connect with each other.

Hide AdJo said: "I think there will still be a lot of members around who'd be interested in sharing their memories and reminiscing about their time with the group as it was such a huge part of South Shields.
"The group helped to create so many special friendships and it would be nice for people to talk about the good old days."
