HYNDBURN Sports Centre celebrated 25 years of leisure this week with staff saying not much has changed -- not even them.
Although the centre has expanded over the years, many of the amenities, such as the badminton and squash courts and swimming pool, were there when Lancashire cricket star David Lloyd opened its doors on January 7, 1977. Recent additions include the hair and beauty salon.
Two members of staff are close to celebrating 25 years there. Joan Tattersall and Marlene Ellis, pictured, joined soon after the opening. Joan said: "Not much has changed, but it has certainly got a lot busier. I'm 58 now so I don't think I'll be doing another 25 years!"
