In pictures: The Way We Were

Take a trip down memory lane with these photos from the archive.

One of this week’s photographs from April 1982 features Mr Ken Craig, chairman of the new board of Lisburn based Modern Tool with Mr Alan Burnside, assistant director CBI, Mr Steve Lawrence, sales executive, and Mr Gerald Torrens, director.

Another photograph shows Ian Kirkpatrick of Dundonald checking in at Maysfield Leisure Centre at the start of May 1982 for the Belfast City Marathon. Ian was to run for the Lions Club and the Cardiac Unit of the Ulster Hospital in Dundonald.

And we also have an old photograph of Mr John Gabbie, Ballynahinch receiving the Northern Bank rosette from David Workman after winning the Simmental supreme championship with a bull at the breed show and sale at Balmoral in April 1982.
