IN 1979, a team from Bolton In Trim ran and lifted their way to become real athletics "superstars" at Horwich Leisure Centre.

The five-man team beat all-comers to take the first Bolton Super Fit Trophy.

Eight teams from Bolton and surrounding areas performed feats of strength, endurance and skill in a day-long programme of events. This picture shows Mark Day of the Bolton Post Office team going through the sit-ups, watched by his colleagues, from left: John Peacock, Tony Drew, Bill Ricketts and Rick Porter.
