Here we are again,like greedy children in a sweet shop but pleeeeeaaaassse make an announcement
soon-I promise we'll be good and do what we're told.
Seriously,it's been said before about all of the preparations for a re-union and all that goes on
behind the scenes and the stuff we don't see or hear about to make them happen and we
really,really,really do appreciate the hard work.,and of course Cecil's commitment as
well,considering recent thread rumblings of 'His Last Re-union' etc.
BUT!!! ...

Please put us out of our misery...Will there? Won't there???

Nothing definite as far as I know. Venue an issue. Cecil's on for doing one but Isaac Butt's was damaged recently by flooding.

Gary may have an update on this.
May be going to hell in a bucket but at least I'm enjoying the ride.

Was talking to Cecil today. Andy was over last weekend talking to the Issac Butt people regarding the venue.

 

He is back next weekend to conclude talks.

If this venue  is not available then they have suggested "The Vaults " which are under Connolly Station, and very handy for Train, Dart and Luas.

What I can confirm at this point, is the total commitment on the part of everyone to make sure that IT HAPPENS
THE TRUTH WILL SET YOU FREE
BUT IT'LL PISS YOU OFF FIRST

That's cheered me up no end. Thanks for the update. The Vaults would be kinda cool for Halloween!

'Tracks from the Vaults'.... (any Horslips fans out there?)

Echo what June says, sounds like a cool place for a Halloween Reunion.

The vaults is a pretty cool venue. I was there a couple of weeks back and really liked it.

I'll try and make it whatever the venue, had a Christmas party in the vaults a few years back. Not a bad spot at all, not bad at all.

Laura had to go in for her four / six week checkup in the rotunda the following day - I was struggling to cope with minding the three of them after far too many pints and far too late a departure.
I'm searching for that cash I should have saved for the crash

Yes Brian-the Mac are playing on Saturday the 24th Oct (and now with an extra date added Sun 25th)
but traditionally the re-unions,particularly on long weekends are usually on Sundays. (I hope-
otherwise I'll be missing one of them...)
Maybe the powers that be might consider this fact knowing a lot of Grovers will be attending this
gig???

We can't be picky,really. The guys put so much effort into organising them so we don't
want to sound like we're pushing it,'demanding' dates that suit us,not them.
I just don't want to miss it thats all!

Rock on Floyd.

Andy and Cecil set the date and venue.

We adjust our schedules where possible to meet THEIR needs.

If you can't make it that's ok.

These reunions take a lot of organising and serious effort and will never suit everyone.

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

Floyd, Pat, I don't think anyone is being "picky" or "demanding"  we're just all wishing it'll be on and that we can make it. fingerscrossedicon.gif
