We’re dancing back to 1980 – the year of Queen riding high in the charts and Hi-de-Hi doing the same on telly.
Meanwhile back in South Tyneside, you were painting in Jutland Avenue, and taking penalties in Wood Terrace.
You were fundraising at the Satellite pub, going behind the scenes at the pictures and going off camping in Whitburn.
You were doing all this and more and we have got the photographic proof thanks to some great photos from the Shields Gazette archives.
So take a look, re-live the memories and get in touch to tell us more.
