Good suggestion Shar! I hope that this Poll might help us gauge the date on which most Forumers can make the drinks night-out! ------------- TPFKAB (The Poster Formerly Known As Brunswick). |

Hey Mel and Shar....good idea doing the poll. Well Saturday 2nd Dec
seems to be the best so far....but will hold off another few days
before I book our babysitter (just in case). I presume "the Nep" is still the watering hole that we shall all quench our thirst in?  ------------- You are what you wanna be....age doesn't matter |

Nep sounds good to me! Haven't been in since we moved house (May)....but I reckon nothing has changed....still the best JukeBox around. PLUS we'll all manage to get seats together (now I do sound old wanting a seat) ------------- Smoke me a kipper I'll be back for Breakfast! |

Unfortunately, as already indicated, can't do either date but I'll be nice and won't throw another spanner in the works by voting for an alternative date.

Its a 'sticky' topic, June, so it should stay up but I see your point re lots of views/few votes. People need to check re sitters etc., I suppose.  ------------- TPFKAB (The Poster Formerly Known As Brunswick). |

We are sorted with our babysitter for the 2nd Dec.....so me and HD will
deffo be there. Wonder if Crusty could say it to Cecil, it would be
great for him to join us that night.....would love to hear some of the
stories he has to tell about the grove

Yeah, agree with that Bluebell - would be fantastic to talk to Cecil about all the memories hes got. Mentioned to Siobhan re Saturday 2nd and she's going to suss her Mam out re babysitting. Even if she isnt available though, I should be able to get in alright! ------------- TPFKAB (The Poster Formerly Known As Brunswick). |

Whoooaaa!!! What's this...a Nep re-union??? I was working in Belfast all week and didn't get to check the site...now I log in and there's loads going on. Wouldn't a Nep night be cool? The current locals wouldn't know what hit them. Father whatzisname would need to be there,though (is he still with us?) and Paddy of course. I remember a Terry barman. And who was the girl who used to serve? Theresa??? Lynn (my lovely missus) drew the short straw babysitting for Halloween re-union and was raging afterwards. (we got tickets for Christmas though-whahay!!) and if I suggest a Nep night then maybe she will insist that night will be her turn! Got to say one thing...the Grove (and now the Nep?) definitely live on thanks to this cool site. Feels like being part of the old gang! Oh-I was a sheep just now and voted for the 2nd-brought it up to 70% Martin |

changes....we'll see you down there so....and mines a Bacardi and
coke

I won't be able to make this night out. Have only a few weekends before I go away and unfortunatly I have something on each time. Am sorry but that's just the way it is.

Hi guys.....I know that not everyone can make Sat 2nd Dec....and for
those who can't....well we can do it all over again in January or Feb
or whatever night or month suits. Like Finno said earlier I found it very hard to have a conversation with anyone with all the "brilliant" music been played....it will be nice to sit and be able to talk and have a few quiet drinks with friends ------------- You are what you wanna be....age doesn't matter |

Nothing wrong with doing it once every one or two months or so...after all,how will 450 of us fit into the Nep??? Pat-where you off to? (might have missed some of your posts) You could surely make a night in the new year??? Martin |

Yeah Susanne, anyone can go of course! Re recognising people, I think downstairs in the Nep is pretty small and you'll probably be able to recognise most, if not all, of us (just check out the Halloween photos) as soon as you walk in!. ------------- TPFKAB (The Poster Formerly Known As Brunswick). |

Hey Martin, wasn't it Audrey? Always in good form! I remember the priest all right! Paddy and Terry. Remember Marcus and Dave Power (rip) both from Kerry.
Susanne - most of us only met up briefly for the 1st time 2 weeks ago, so you won't be a stranger! |

Yes! Audrey.The 'urban legend' everyone used to spin was...'she's Paddy's daughter,you know...' just to sound like they were in the know. (She wasn't ,sure she wasn't?) ------------- There are three kinds of people in the world,those who are able to count,and those who can't... |

Haven't seen the priest in there in years (you'll be in for a shock the place has been "Done up") and Paddy had a heart attack about 2 years ago ...was supposed to retire...then came back but think they wanted to make him part time or something (around the tiem the Nep onlyl started opening weekends) so last I saw him he was working in the Ha'penny Bridge Inn. ------------- Smoke me a kipper I'll be back for Breakfast! |

Of course!!! I only met people at the last reunion. As Mel suggested check out the photos but seriously the Nep is Tiny, You'd spot a mouse in there. If you're really stuck just ask the barman...we'll make ourselves known. Looking forward to meeting you. ------------- Smoke me a kipper I'll be back for Breakfast! |

Poor Paddy.Did have pints there the night of the last Australian Pink Floyd Show in the Point.Yeah-done up is right but it still has that 'feel' about it.Still very homey or homely or something.You feel like you can kick off your boots and put your feet up. And Susanne797 (dying to know where that username is from) now you have to come...we'll all buy you a pint! ------------- There are three kinds of people in the world,those who are able to count,and those who can't... |

Right guys.....what do we do here....the poll is split in half. So do
half of us meet up in the Nep on 2nd Dec or do you guys wanna leave it
for another night and another venue (Bruxelles) when everyone can meet
up. Me and HD are easy...we'll go with the flow ------------- You are what you wanna be....age doesn't matter |

Hey bluebell for what its worth I'd go with 50percent on the 2nd you're never going to find a night that suits everyone tried it before. Can always do another night as well no rule so only one ------------- Blondie I generally avoid temptation unless I can't resist it ! |

Seems there's 6 in one and half a dozen in the other...As the re-union is on 27th that might 'satisfy' the craving and then the Nep night could be delayed slightly. On the other paw,we might all be itching for more after the re-union and can't wait for the nep night...(does that make sense?) Oh,what to do...

Alright.....so we are having a night out in the Nep on Saturday 2nd Dec...and anyone who can make it ....great
and those who can't ....well we will just have to another night out in
January to celebrate the New Year ......is that ok with everyone ?  ------------- You are what you wanna be....age doesn't matter |

Of course we could just go down to St Annes have 2 cans of Harp and a bottle of Bulmers a packet of polo mints and see if our respective partners will let us back in. After all we might
not get served in the Nep….. Tonto PS: floydman.. I now have the Grove Social Club Documentary on DVD.
