It's May 1986 and Dandy the cat was rescued after six days stuck in a hole in a wall; young Examiner readers won a year's worth of Ben Shaws fizzy drinks and Paddock Youth Group bought a seven sided pool table!

Go back 30 years with the gallery above and relive those memories!

(Is that seven sided pool table still around? Let us know in the comments or email lauren.ballinger@trinitymirror.com!)
