Fantastic Hartlepool fundraisers from the past - but which superb event were you pictured at?

We delved into the Hartlepool Mail archives to find these scenes which show everything from sponsored dancing to a band night held for a worthy cause.

We were inspired by this week’s story of the Triple R challenge.

It will see people rowing, riding and running for miles over almost two days continuously in a bid to get to the top of the Eiffel Tower in Paris and raise money for Great Ormond Street Hospital for children this Christmas.

It’s a fantastic effort from a town known for its support for worthy causes over the years.

So why not see if you can spot one that you remember from our Hartlepool Mail retro collection?
