Does anyone recall the St. Pauls Socials

Just wondering does anyone remember the St. Paul’s Socials - it almost seems like it was the pre-grove thing to do.  They were brilliant.  I always remember this one priest, Fr. Moore I think.  He would always refuse me saying I was to small to be a 3rd year student but sure I wasn't, I was just a little thing - anyhow he would tell a few of us to sit around the side and let us in the back door a little while later.  He was a lovely fella.  They were always great nights.

Socials on which year(s)? I may be guilty as not charged, having ran a few of them. I apologize in advance, and deny all responsibility.

Rolo they were socials held in St. Paul’s for the 3/4th year students I believe.  Since St. Paul’s and Manor House were close partners back then we would easily get wind of an upcoming social.  It does appear however that other local schools around attended the socials.  They reminded me in a way of the Grove but like Sunshine said a much younger crowd.  It was where I got my introduction to most of the songs later played at the Grove.

It was my head start so to speak!  Can't believe that room is now a cloakroom...

But Teresa,surely all 3rd 4th Years were going to the Grove then.

Did they take place on Fridays or what ?

Oh yeah, what year did you leave Manor House ? ( If that's not too personal ) and what time is it in Columbus,Ohio ?

Peter White lived across the road from me in Artane.

He's in Malahide now , his wife was in hospital same time as mine having our respective nine year olds in Sept. '96.

My cousin married a lad from Newcastlewest in Limerick in 1986 and lives there now.

Ciaran was her brother ,same age as me,used to knock around with Ultan Green and John McDonnell ...... any closer.

Hi Teresa,

Haven't seen Paul Duffy for years,his sister Sandra was in our crew back then with her mates from St.Mary's.( Linda Smith,Jean Carroll )all from Donnycarney.

Here's a cracker though,my sister went out with Fergal Grealy's brother,Ronan for years.

Eddie Bannon's ( who is now a comedian on the circuit ) sister Bernadette was in my class in Primary School but I don't know either of the Smiths though.Where were they from ?

Andy St.Ledger was also in our year in David's but I've not seen him for ages either.

Oh yeah,must compliment you on the choice of name for your four year old.

Did you ever know Rayo White ?
