Just to reiterate what I said last night. Thank you one and all for making
last night so much fun. A fitting way to end the "Shieling Era". And the
good news is that Cecil's decided to continue making appearances at the
reunions. So please God, we can look forward to many more fun nights in
the future.
As we're just coming to the end of "revamping" the website, we may not
get our photos from last night uploaded til towards the end of the week,
but I promise they'll be up asap. But please feel free to upload your own
to the gallery. Aswell as our own, I saw many video cameras there last
night, so I'm looking forward to seeing some Youtube moments in the not
too distant futute. I'll open a thread for people to post the links to the
footage on. Also a big welcome to all the Grove Reunion "virgins" who
attended last night, hope you enjoyed yourselves and we hope you're
beginning to see what all the fuss is about !

A quick thanks to everyone involved for making this whole Grove revival
such a success. Your efforts are much appreciated.

Thanks again.

Take care,

Crust.   
I'm not even supposed to be here today!

Really enjoyed last night Crusty even though I went home by 11.30 cos of my baby bump. Was pretty impressed that i lasted that long all the same seen as i'm six months pregnant.

As usual I was chuffed that Cecil dedicated "Rock N' Roll" for me and I did my best to rock out to it 

Love these nights and it shoots me right back in time when I thought I was a rock chick...ahem.

Hard to put words to such special events as last nights Grove reunion.

Great night as always spent in the company of wonderful friends and accompanied by fantastic music provided by Andy and Cecil.

Thank you all 


May be going to hell in a bucket but at least I'm enjoying the ride.

Fantastic night was had, although I have made a note to do more dancing and less drinking next time. My poor head!

The attendance was good. Initally the place seemed a bit empty but it soon filled up. Nice to see the Roger Water fan club in attendance, lol! I think I counted 5 t-shirts or were there more?

Looking forward to the next one, wherever it is.

  We did it again.....another fab night. So many thanks to you, Cecil , and Andy ,of course. I think we all deserve a pat on the back for creating such a unique atmosphere. Long may it continue, I say.

Thanks to everyone for the many 'intros' over the course of the night.I loved meeting you all in person and I think that really made the night extra special..can't wait to see the photos!

Looking forward to Halloween at the new venue....more good times ahead

Cheers Crusty for a great night, delighted to hear Cecil isn't retiring (I didn't believe it for a minute )

Evangeline Sorry I didn't get to meet you, hopefully next time.

Roll on Halloween.

Really,really,really nice to meet some people I hadn't had the pleasure of knowing before...Jen,Grainne,Aries and the guy at the small bar who wouldn't tell me his username and said I had to guess. Still don't know! (should have getting your pic...)

Jen-fair play to you-you said you'd make it and you did...Tonto wanted to get a group shot of all the Roger Waters T-shirt wearers but couldn't get them in the same place!

And Grainne-true to your word-you came into the bar beforehand-looked like you fitted right in!

Think I enjoyed last night more so than the 40th-not sure why.everyone seemed in really good form.Crusty-must say the tracks chosen were really well thought out-every one was a reminder of those glory days. I stopped going before the whole Grunge thing so I finally got to mosh to Nirvana last night! An experience! Took about 15 seconds to realise you don't need to say 'sorry' when you pogo into someone and that was the idea... Poor Whippersnapper lost a lens from his glasses during it-hope it turned up WS!

A fab,brilliant,nostalgic,magic night. Huge thanks to Crusty and Cecil.

I have to agree Floydman, I enjoyed last overall more than the anniversary
reunions, even there were probably a couple of peaks at the 40th that last
night didn't have, the atmosphere overall was better I think. Compliments to
you all for that.
And fair play to you Floydman for running off the extra prints, you managed
to raise an extra €100 for the charity. Thanks so much!

More on the charity on the updated website.
I'm not even supposed to be here today!

That's great Andy-it's all good-and anything that adds to the charities can only be good. Fair play to Tina-I was hoping she didn't view it as extra work...as if she hadn't enough to do!

Polly-we missed you last night!

Hope that 'other thing' you were attending was a success...maybe see you at the picninc next month?
