Hi Guys - hope you're all well! Some good news: The only official Grove Reunion of 2011 will be held on Bank Holiday Sunday, October 30th @ The Clontarf Castle. It'll be Hallowe'en, so of course, fancy dress encouraged! I'll post further details closer to the date. Hope this news brightens up your day! ------------- I'm not even supposed to be here today! |
