For a few years of my life one of the most important things I owned was a little bit red cardboard with my name and address and the number 798. stamped on it.Does anyone have a lower number than that, I doubt it.

Mine was and still is 1267. They must have started the numbers all over again at some stage. If Monarch went in 1967 and I didn't start til 1979. |

Can't remember what my number was, but I do remember that my card was white...just like Bob Smith at the top of the page. Wonder when they changed them from red cardboard to white? |

My number was 9344, white card, HIDEOUS picture (of all things I had short hair....sooo embarrassing to have it on my Grove card). Still have it though, a tresured souvenir, complete with Ciaran Mulcahy's teeth marks in it! Edited by Esthalon |

Was it just my mates that had a "tradition" for thrashing new Grovers cards? "Giz a look at that" and then it would be crumpled, danced on, rolled in a ball and generally abused. Strange crew (then and now).

My Grove card was as per Bob Smith and there was a name but the photo was a shot of a head of hair and a pair of silver dangly earrings. Couldn´t see a face for love or money.

Hi Fester, Don't think so, that's why mine had teeth marks in it...it looked "Too New" and needed to be "Christened", then agian I think we both went around the same time so maybe that was just our era - that it wasn't cool to have a new looking card.

When I started to go down the Grove first (79-80) they had red cards for the guys and green ones for the girls. Then, after about maybe 6 months, they switched them to the hideous white ones - they took the old cards off everyone and traded you your new one. I think they were having trouble with young grovers/non members using family/friends old cards, which didnt have pictures - thats what I heard anyway. Sadly, lost mine somewhere or other when I moved out of my folks home back in Artane. |

1192. The familiar white one. Yes,it was duly christened too. Tonto passed it around the alcove and it eventually came back to me in a state. In boredom I poked the eyes out of my picture one night-Tony-think you did too? Strange crew,indeed. |

My card was white and laminated. Not sure of the number but it's still in my mam's house. (my old bedroom still has a lot of junk in it) So when I go home for my hols in Sept(hopefully) I can update this posting. Wonder if my denim jacket will still fit from back then!!! Had all my lovely stitching on it of all my fave bands. |

Must go look for my card now, its upstairs somewhere, never could bring meself to dump it. Remember being horrified one night when in the lads toilets helping a puking mate, Barry, Jim and Dessy Toal the bouncers descended on us and confiscated our membership cards. Damien Hyland who was the guy that sold the soft drinks got them back for us a long fortnight later! Was like a bereavement at the time.

Rock on Monarch and welcome to the site. I still have my red Grove card with the number 2170 signed by Paul G Tighe. Everytime I look at it fond memories return. |

Pat FYI Mr Paul Tighe was the Chairman of Belgrove Football Club for many many years (The Grove was actually a Fundraiser for Belgrove Football Club! - "Not a lot of people know that" as Michael Caine would say).
Paul's family owned Tighes butchers at the bottom of Vernon Avenue, its still there as far as I know? He was an absolute gentleman and he only passed on a couple of years ago as far as I know. |

Yep Fester, Tighes is still there on Vernon Avenue. Mine was a white card with photo (hideous) and was number 12024. I still have it and it was also "christened" in the manner hitherto described. |

Tighes is beside the Sheds,right? When Arthur Guinness lived at Thornville (St. Annes) he had lands (three times the size of the park now...)all over Raheny and Clontarf. During his life there he leased several of his lands (most of which purchased from Lord Vernon) to farmers for tillage.Unlike a lot of English landlords at the time who squeezed what they could from their tenants during famine times,Guinness actually donated to his tenants. He built sheds along his lands on the Clontarf seafront for his tenants during hard times. Thus,a popular drinking hole in Clontarf got it's name from this... |
