Happy Days....Jeux Sans Frontieres
A Memory of Southport.
One of many events to take place in this amazing pool was the 1975 International heat of Jeux Sans Frontieres. Stuart Hall and Eddie Wareing compered on a late summers evening when competitors from all over Europe battled on a specially built galleon in the deep end of the pool.
This was the era when it was normal to liberally cover yourself with coconut oil, and burn in the sun to a deep golden colour....happily, skin cancer hadn't been invented! We spent many many happy summer days there with my mum and dad, Bob & Jenny Ashurst. Such happy days.
