They reminisce over a huge sporting event when the world’s elite darts players descended on the resort for the World Matchplay Darts Finals. There was the Race for Life, the unveiling of plans to redevelop the Queenstown area and children were invited to Blackpool Zoo to celebrate the attraction’s 40th birthday. There are others too – can you remember them?
