Topic: Old Grove Membership CardPosted: 07-October-2005 at 12:44 |

Yo, Whilst diggin out some old photos circa 1973 I came across my old Grove membership card. I remember the day I got it. It was like becoming a member of the K Club. Those cards were treasured and if you remember the wait getting one. Anyone else got their old membership card.

Hello fellow grove heads I also found my old grove membership card and was showing it to my kids. They wanted to know why it had a burn mark on the corner. The reason was as they were so hard to get at the time and I had this card for a few years and I tried to remove they ON COOL photo of my youth and replace it with the new hippy picture of myself without success. |

I reckon that for the next Grove Reunion, they should give everyone a memebership card, like the old days...

what a brilliant idea, I'd need a pint to encourage me to show it to anyone, the picture is so bloody embarrassing!

Sorry folks, but as they say at the Races " Winner alright, Winner alright." The acid test has to be whether you could actually recognise someone now from the picture on their card. Maybe we could all have a competition on the 27th. Sorry, Biker Pat,that obviously excludes you and similar veterans of your era. |

Look,what we should do is get everyone to bring their old card and put them into a big box. Then,those who brought their cards would dip into the box and pull one out. They then have fifteen minutes to locate and recognise the person whose card they have picked out. Those picking out cards from later periods would have a shorter time as obviously younger members won't have changed so much. At this stage,I doubt if I could even recognise myself from the picture. Makings of a game show perhaps ????????? Rolo. |

Yeh but seriously, judging from Sunday night and previous Grove occasions and due to the oul alcohol intake, i dont think most people would be able to see two feet infront of themselves let alone try and recognise someone they dont know! Would be a funny game show though! |

Lads this is the start of a great idea. I can see it now on RTE!! Maybe not but it would be a bit like the old Aer Lingus ad, with yer man with the long hair and the lost passport. In the days before they went low fares and who gives a **** if they miss their flight!! I don't want to play though, coz I really was wicked in my picture.............can I still get a free pint???? |

Will someone fly me home for Christmas so I can make one of these reunions - me bloody heart is aching here reading all of this? The Christmas one better not be the last one to happen? By the way my less than popolur sister in law threw out all my old memorabilia when I left home - including my grove membership - she should burn at the stake for that one!!!

Eejit 91, Start lobbying Crusty because I think he thinks Christmas is the last and the Radio City is going to be enough for us all. Does he not realise we're all mad for the Grove?!! What time is it where you are? |
