We start this week's look back in time with some high energy routines.

The Reformer reported that there was an aerobics craze sweeping Burnhill in April 1993.

The sports centre hosted many youngsters who were eager to try step aerobics, and the event proved so popular that the classes were set to be held on a regular basis.

The day featured youngsters trying out pom-pom classes as well, aided by a techno music soundtrack.

Music of a different sort had featured at Stonelaw High 10 years previously.

A group of pupils there had been hitting the right notes in April 1983.

For three senior girls, Jane Brotherston (17), Wilma Henderson (16) and Helen Stewart (17) all from fifth year, sang Mozarts aria Say Ye Who Borrow, and attained extremely high marks at the Cambuslang Music Festival.

Wilma was first, Helen second and Jane third.

Second year Gillian Henry was first in the junior section of the singing contest.

Lastly, we stay with 1983, where a group of local women had been in top flight.

The Bower Bar in Rutherglen had held a darts competition over the Christmas period.

Coming out on top was Kate Monahan (right), who won a trophy for her efforts.

Runner-up was Martha Friars (left), while pictured in the centre is Nan Brannigan, the manageress of the Bower bar.
