When the Grove started, I was 5 years old. It was 11/12 years later, before I started going down to St. Pauls. I do remember when I started going to St. Pauls as a student (the school, not the Grove itself)from around 13 years of age, everyone would be talking about the Grove and could not wait to be let go/get in.

When I first attended The Grove you entered through a small door at the front (opposite to side shown in the photo). At the cloakroom, near the boys jax. Then later the entrance was moved to the near corner on the driveway side where you entered through the snack bar. It was kinda annoying because all of these Hells Angels characters in leather jackets used to park their bikes near the door and then they robbed all the good looking girls that needed a ride home. There was one in biker in particular that I remember well...his name was Pat Mc
 something or other.

Ah fair enough Frank, thanks. I got involved the latter end of 1971 and I never remembered it being as dilapidated-looking as in the pics on here! But that would explain it ...

Gerry it got a makeover in 1970 and the entrance was moved to the front of the building and got a lick of paint as well .

Lol Joey. For some reason my memory of the place is that it was painted blue on the outside, or there was a lot of blue involved...
...but my memory not very reliable much of the time, so maybe its playing tricks on me. Must ask the bro in England, he'll remember ... |

Cecil was only ten when he did his first DJ gig at The Grove. All the songs were like "How much is that doggie in the window" and "Big Rock Candy Mountain" and "Paddy me boy, is that the Cat that Chewed your New Shoes" and stuff ...I'm not joking
