Sandcastles 1997

On Saturday August 30th 1997 18 Plus members from all over the Yorkshire region, and also from Reading, and Worcester 18 Plus Groups converged on the seaside town of Cleethorpes for the annual Grimsby & Cleethorpes 18 Plus Group "Sandcastles" competition.

The event is really a sand "sculpture" competition, and teams had two hours to construct their creations, which included a Stock Car Racing Circuit, a Submarine, one of the Telly Tubbies, Jabba the Hut from Star Wars, and a Lobster.

Huddersfield 18 Plus member, John A Smith, also know to the "Dossers" as the "Anti-Christ" decided to have a go at the competition, and so entered the competition and created a skull & cross bones.

The event was judged by the Mayor, and Mayoress of Cleethorpes and the results were announced at the Winter Gardens where the evening's Disco, which was a re-union Party to celebrate 30 years of Grimsby & Cleethorpes 18 Plus took place. Grimsby & Cleethorpes 18 Plus Group Chairman Ann Davis presented the trophies.
