They certainly liked a fundraiser at the Simonside Arms pub in South Shields in the past.
The fantastic staff and locals at the pub supported wonderful causes with events such as darts marathons, and we have reminders of those days with Shields Gazette photo memories from 1981 to 2021.
Maybe you were pictured when at a trophy presentation 40 years ago, or at fundraisers in 2004 and 2006.
We also caught up with the venue when it was set to re-open in 2021. Take a look and see how many of these scenes bring back memories for you.
