    Posted: 19-September-2006 at 20:32

Hi All, just a quickie to let you know that tickets are now on sale at the Shieling Hotel. There'll be a limited amount available from Austin on O'Connell St. for those of you not able to make the hike out to Raheny.

Tickets are priced 15 euro. Apologies for the price increase, but the commission from RTE was not enough to cover all of the bills ran up by the documentary, so this will subsidise the overdraft. Also running costs have increased. But on more positive note, 2 euro from each ticket sale will go directly to a charity in Cambodia who uncover and remove landmines and also assist victims of landmine explosions. But more on that at another stage. Anyway, what are we apologising for? the Reunions are worth alot more than the 15 euros entry fee! Don't you agree?

P.S. That little treat mentioned in the previous post, never worked out, my apologies. Hopefully I'll have something for you at the Christmas one...

Newstalk 106 did a (45 minute?) show this morning with Cecil, Andy and the comedian Brendan Burke re the Grove.  They took texts, e-mails etc., was good fun.

I was at Austin's today and he hadn't heard at that stage when they were available. I rang the Shieling myself at around 10.30am and no word there either - I was told another week or so.. so texted my friend and he rang the Shieling around 5pm and was told that they wouldn't available until Fri 29th..

Had to ring him back just now to tell them and he's going to ring the Shieling again tomorrow - he can't do it now and if I do, I won't be able to collect..

Hope they don't sell out before tomorrow?!?! I'll cry if they do, especially as I haven't been able to make the reunions bar the Easter one.

Ta.

Problem for me is that depending on what bus I get to go to work (I don't always go to O'Connell St - prefer to avoid it on normal morns), so I'm not sure if I can make it into town until then. I've no net in work either, so logging into here is out of the question until tomorrow night. Bah!

Hopefully my mate will pick some up tomorrow morn/afternoon.. and we've a sort of deal - it's who gets first, gets them. He/we have a few to get and there's one of the group that won't decide until last minute to go.

Pants.....

It's the same night as James Brown - can't dress up in tight black jeans and a Pearl Jam t-shirt to see the Godfather of Soul - or can I??

Reckon if I buy tickets I could buzz in at about 10.30 - 11pm??

Ah who called it that - someone who never experienced the grove I bet.... there's nothing like it now for the kids and there's no great memories being made for them either. 

Welcome to the forum Mrs R Smith.

Hi Guys, I just called the Shieling reception (01 8314222) and the person who answered the phone told me that yes, they have tickets for the Grove and that they went on sale today. So next time you call, and try to tell you otherwise, tell them that they DO have tickets on sale and that you'd like to buy some!

P.S. We'll be screening the documentary at 8pm, in the Shieling on the night of the Hallowe'en Reunion, so get down early!

Thanks again for all the kind comments regarding the documentary. See you on the 29th!

Confirmed.  I went to The Sheiling tonight and bought 2 tickets for the October reunion.

I was talking to the Manager there and he's very excited about the Oct reunion as it'll probably be a sell out.

By the way I reminded him of the difficulties of getting a taxi after the reunions and he said he'd contact all local taxi companies and tell them to be available that night.


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

That's the problem with this country. Begrudgers

As Bono once said that in USA people would look at your house on the hill and say someday I'm gonna get me one of those but in Ireland they same I'm gonna get that guy who lives in the house on the hill.

The Grove is legendary and the documentary was a classic.

F**k what anyone else says
