Every one of these 1980 images come from the Shields Gazette archives and they show events in Harton Comprehensive, the Westovians, J&J Fashions and the Perth Green Kenbu Waza Karate Club.
We have also got reminders of the Brinkburn Under 14s Hockey team, and Whitburn Gym Club members off to Germany.
Take a look for yourself.
