???? What age do you have to be to be old, at this stage anybody who went to Mount Prospect should get a Gold Membership Card. Most definatly if ya can produce your original card. If ya survived Mount Prospect ya can survive anything. ------------- Dayo Grov'in 70 - 76 |

Welcome to the forum. I'm also of the Mount Prospect generation. I went to the psychedelic shack from 1972 - 1975. Super place it was. Anyway hope you share some memories from your time there.

Great to see more Mount Prospect "Grovers" or Easons as I used to call it when going there first. My card No. was 798 and I started going in July 1967. ------------- There is a crack in everything ...... that's how the light gets in |

I think someone posted the "Easons" name for the old Grove on some other thread but I cant find it/too lazy to look for it but why the "Easons", Frank? ------------- TPFKAB (The Poster Formerly Known As Brunswick). |

I remember talking to Cecil about this but can't really remember what he said. I think it was that the Book Store had their Social Club there. ------------- There is a crack in everything ...... that's how the light gets in |

When it was Easons' we just sat and read. Cecil introduced us all to Sarte and Guy de Maupassant. The girls were nice looking but they all wore glasses. The only reason we started dancing was because of Last Tango in Paris. |

| I think the Eason's name was not connected to the bookshop but came from the farm whose land was stolen to start Belgrove. That's the story I heard anyway. |
