During the early 80s, the Three rivers was held at the Crowtree Leisure centre in Sunderland. Tableauxs and stands were set up on the Friday, which was a social occasion in itself with good humoured banter and different societies helping each other. As usual, there was a pre-Festival dance where anyone-who-was-anyone from the FBAS and TTAA attended.
The prize were awarded by Dr David Ford of Aquarium on Sunday. Along with Aquarian products, Major Award badges, shown below, were also given to class winners.
