Okay..I've had a quick look through the forums and I can't see this anywhere..so I was wondering.. Would people be interested in putting up old pics of themselves at the grove in St. Pauls..or the original in Belgrove I suppose. Maybe do it as a seperate thread or something? I know we have at least one pic that I know of in the Grove..back in the day when I was skinny..she still is..  I bet there are loads of old pics out there...I know they showed glimpses of a few on the Documentary.... Anyway..just a thought...adios for now peeps!! ------------- Photographers deal in things which are continually vanishing and when they have vanished there is no contrivance on earth which can make them come back again. - (Henri Cartier-Bresson) |

It always makes me sad when I see my (young) full head of hair and compare it to my (old) thinning long hair but I s'pose thats life...having said that, I like the idea very much HD  ------------- TPFKAB (The Poster Formerly Known As Brunswick). |

Okay...well I'm not familiar with how pics are posted here..if it's like other boards I assume you have to upload to a hosting site ..like Photobucket..and link to it here... So... I'll root out that old pic for the hell of it and scan and upload and get it started... Just hope we're not the only ones though...  ------------- Photographers deal in things which are continually vanishing and when they have vanished there is no contrivance on earth which can make them come back again. - (Henri Cartier-Bresson) |

Just came across a thread from back in May when DocMartin tried to get something similar going! Is she still around? I notice that nobody else ever did post a pic as well... Well I have a free night tonightso I'm gonna root out that old pic and stick it up here and any others I can find...and lets see if we can't persuade a few others to share their pictorial memories...hehehe!! ------------- Photographers deal in things which are continually vanishing and when they have vanished there is no contrivance on earth which can make them come back again. - (Henri Cartier-Bresson) |

Hi I'm a newbie....no doubt there's lots after documentary. I'm a Grover from 86 - 89 (though still appeared in 90, 91 occasionally) I'd love to see old Photos....I know I have some myself I could dig out. My burning question since the documentary is on a similar wave....is there anywhere where those in the photos on the documentary are identified....I recognise a few, but the hair not to mention plastic bags make it a bit difficult to be sure of some others. ------------- Smoke me a kipper I'll be back for Breakfast! |

Be kinda fun actually..cos usually there are other background people in these pics..hard not to be with a crowd anyway.

I think it was around 1990....we were all "Old Heads" there by then so it was ok to be seen taking photos.

Cool Pic Esthalon..

Okay..after much thumbing through hundreds and hundreds of dog-eared
snaps...finally found the one and only pic we have that was taken at
the Grove. It was taken in Dec' 1982 and I guess it proves we didn't
have to visit the compound..hehehe!! Anybody recognise any of the people around us?  ------------- Photographers deal in things which are continually vanishing and when they have vanished there is no contrivance on earth which can make them come back again. - (Henri Cartier-Bresson) |

hehe!! was the ghost of the phantom snoggers still floating around in the nineties then Lenny? Thanks for making this a sticky...now all we have to do is get people to post some more pics...there have to be plenty out there getting blue mouldy at the bottom of tin boxes...  Here's another one.. not actually in the Grove..but pretty sure this was before before we headed out there..is in the Nep in Abbey St.  That's yours truly third from the left...the blonde girl was Anne Gregory..where is she now..?..other side of me is Eugene Glancy who remains a good friend to this day and the girl with him is an old ex of his Anne Fitzsimons...trying to remember the name of the guy on the end...Ed something or other.....but all are Ex-Grovers anyway The good ole nep..many a happy night spent in there... with Paddy behind the bar and Mick on the door.,..oh and the mad priest who used to tell all kinds of mad tales to sponge a drink of anyone he could...

Shane and Sean both had older brothers who went to the Grove too..before and during the time we did.. Anyways..that's about all the Grove era pics that I have ...so lets see some more....

Its not taken at the Grove itself but at someone's 21st party in that hotel in Portmarnock (where Tamangos is/was) - and, no, I was never actually at Tamangos, I'm glad to say I might just bring it with me to the reunion night as I dont have a scanner... ------------- TPFKAB (The Poster Formerly Known As Brunswick). |

Robbie, I'm sure I knew the Shane fella.Was he from Kinsealy, and the Eugene fella,think he was going out with a girl I knew at one stage,can't remember her name. Think Shane might've knocked around with Derek Murray who was at Man Utd. for a few years. Rolo. |

Sounds like him Rolo...he lived in Balgriffin...on the grounds of Belcamp College actually...was a whole load of brothers who were all Grovers...think the eldest guy was probably even at the old Grove.

Hi Lads & Ladies, Long time lurker, first time poster, this board is great! That pic of Noel Glancy took me right back 20 years+, that guy could skin up a "special ciggy" one-handed while taking a slug from a can of beer with the other, all with impeccable cool on the top deck of the bus back from Abbey St to the Grove, while all the girls adored him! Knew him through my mate Dec Peelo (Coolock) who was another Grove Face 82-85 or so. There was a big mad blonde lad from Finglas called Hatch who used to bomb around (and fall off) motorbikes as well who was part of that crew. Some amazing hippy type girls as well that fuelled many a teenage fantasy, seem to remember a girl called Bugsy(?) on Howth Road who always had the best post-Grove parties. Brilliant to have so many memories re-kindled reading this board and happy to say that having the pleasure of now knowing and regularly chatting to the one and only Mr Cecil Nolan through a mutual love of junior soccer (believe it or not) I can tell you that he gets huge pride and pleasure from the legacy he left behind and the affection that thousands of Grovers have for him to this day. So guys keep on Grovin' and reaching the parts of my brain that I thought the flagons of Stag in the Nep killed off all those years ago. |

Hey welcome Fester...just laughing to myself at that description of Noel...I'll pass on your compliments... and yeah..remember Hatch...used to drink with him ..along with a dozen others in the nep... Maybe we should all try and organise a meet in the nep some night...pack the place out ..hehehe!! ------------- Photographers deal in things which are continually vanishing and when they have vanished there is no contrivance on earth which can make them come back again. - (Henri Cartier-Bresson) |

Hey Fester, Nice first post! Wow! Small world, you've certainly mentioned a few heads that I remember. I think everyone knew Hatch and his motorbike and "Bugsy" (Deirdre) from (ironically enough) just across the road from the Shieling on Howth Road..you obviously remember her "room" as well with all the posters and peoples drawings and poems written on the walls - great after-Grove and, indeed (before-Grove, on Sundays) parties...remember her well - she used to be one of the regulars to my house on Brookwood Ave in August for the "two weeks free house" when my folks went away

I think Debs pictures would be a brilliant idea Teresa......it would
give us more to laugh at and sl*g each other about. I brought HD to my
debs....he went to his debs the year before he met me so he brought
some other girl. It's gas when we all went to our debs we had to wear a
white dress (with frills !!!!!) Now the
girls all go in designer dresses with false
nails/tan/hair/boobs/teeth.....so much has changed. Anyway I'll see if
I can root out an old debs photo....and give you all a laugh ------------- You are what you wanna be....age doesn't matter |

Blondie, You basically need to post your photos on a web site somewhere and then add the link to them using the button with the picture of the tree. If that doesn't make sense to you feel free to mail them to me and I'll post them for you. I'll pm you my email address. ------------- Smoke me a kipper I'll be back for Breakfast! |
