Thanks Sean 👍
We're actually heading off to Thailand/Cambodia on 6th December. This trip booked since early in the year long before any Grove Reunion was mentioned. So besides the cost of going to Ireland I couldn't have gone anyway because of our trip. Edited by Biker Pat - 07-November-2023 at 15:16 |

Pat,I wasn't sure if there would ever be another reunion after Cecil passed,so all was a bit up in the air... hopefully when you do make it home,there will be a reunion,and if not we will arrange a Grover meet up,for a chat and a few fizzy drinks

Thanks Sean.
Will let folks know in advance of any plans to visit Ireland. Marjie has to go through a visa process but that shouldn't be a problem being married to an Irish citizen. Flights, accomodation and daily expenses all have to be costed and saved for. |

Hi men, I'm back! Had to get a new password, anyway...
...what Sean sez is true Mel. There's Sean, Pat, myself (although I can be an irregular attendee!!!), and yourself from time to time. That's it I think. I still prefer it to Facebook!!! Anyway how are things Mel? Job OK, will you get much time off for Christmas? All OK my end, still doing various part-time things that nearly add up to a full-time job (apart from the money !!!). Might try get on to the Grove show tonight if I can manage to log on OK...

Whoops!!! Embarrassed giggle! Poguey is making me pay for forgetting him with all his posts tonight. Of course Pogue is one of the few remaining loyal hard core posters here. Also Brian posts regularly with playlists/playback and gets involved in conversations. Big apologies lads!
But I can't think of anyone else beyond this small group. Anyone else I'm forgetting..??? Frank dropped out a good while ago, and there is the very, very rare one-off greeting from a lady member, but that's really it I think...

Sadly Gerry that's it but like you I prefer here than the Facebook forum.
The FB forum is overrun with videos and little decent conversation and debate. Long live this forum and it's contributors.

@Gerry - work is a pain in the arse but it pays the bills I suppose. Sad to hear/see that so few are still posting on this site but sadly stuff like FB grabs everyone's attention and even attracts the odd weirdo, which you don't get here. Looking forward to the reunion alright but wow, it will be weird without Cecil. First time ever, my two sisters and my brother are also going to a reunion - they all went to the Grove at, generally, different times than me, but good to see them getting involved. My younger sis was over last night and she was saying that she was getting back into the "old" music, thanks to me, so there is hope yet. :) See ya next Saturday SHH.

Cheers Mel. Yes, apart from the pain in the bum.of not getting to the reunion this time, it is striking it will be the first one - in more recent years- that won't have Cecil as the focal point. Now we could say the music, our fellow-grovers, the positive atmosphere generally - are focal points, and of course they are. But a touch of 'Hamlet without the Prince"??? I dunno. Weird/strange it may well be at the start of the evening; but hopefully it will quickly evolve into the joyous, raucous, good-humored, fabulous night of music and friendship that characterises all the reunions...
...enjoy; have a pint for me; and play that air-guitar loud and proud...

Also looking forward to meeting Rob as well as Andy. We'll make a good night of it anyway. Reckon Cecil will be looking down and smiling at his legacy.
Grove reunion with his son helping out.
