How could you not remember the compound??? Yes,all it was was a gravel area with some fences,to presumably get some air as Mel says but also to,after the slow set,take that person you just asked to dance out and erm,'talk' to them. ------------- There are three kinds of people in the world,those who are able to count,and those who can't... |

Hey guys, This was the place were every1 got down and dirty,(it was basically an area were all the lads put their bikes during the school week).Many an innocence was lost out there,not mine of course but definately a lot of snogging an stuff and it would be a place to go and hide from prying eyes,until that is of course the bouncers would come up and shine that torch in your face(like they did when the mosses were getting a bit too rough!?!)and ask yas to break it up.Oh the compound,what a place.... |

hey, I'm really pleased you all (well, some of you) have vivid memories. But, my point was about what it's called. At the last reunion one of my mates almost had a nervous breakdown due to the Courtyard not being a Courtyard anymore. Those of you who don't remember it at all, where did you go during the slowsets? Because we all went to the Courtyard rather than be under the scrutiny of those who, rather than dance themselves, sat around the hall staring at those who were...... ------------- and would you believe she had the cheek to say no... |

Hi Maureen, When I went to the Grove (86-90) it was definitely referred to as the Compound, this is the first I've heard of it being called the courtyard but as we went different years.....

Hmm, built in the early 80s? - maybe I'm mixed up then as the place I remember for 'air' was out through the glass-doors of the long hallway, that ran the length of the main hall, into a grassy and gravel area with fencing. Everyone used to spill out there for a breather. Pretty sure the place I remember was built before 1980 as that was the year I left school, and you could see the grassy/gravel place from our pre-fab classroom (the old cloakroom) in St. Pauls. Maybe this explains the mix-up between compound/courtyard? ------------- TPFKAB (The Poster Formerly Known As Brunswick). |

HATED-absolutely HATED all the 'chat' as you refer to it,Donal. 'Do you come here often'...'what music do you like'...'can I walk you home'. Ugh. Half the time the girls didn't know if you were just out for a quick shift or really wanted to get to know them. I do remember the unspoken rule was,the first slow set you could dance,the second,if you brought your face close enough and she responded by bringing hers to yours,it was OK to kiss. If you could walk her home,it was a date,and if you asked to go for a walk in St Annes the next day,you were an item. ------------- There are three kinds of people in the world,those who are able to count,and those who can't... |

Hiya June, hope you're well!

I used a "just going down to my mates" excuse once (and only once!) and I felt so guilty after. The guilt was compounded later when I went up to the stage close to 1pm to ask Cecil to play a song and, as I was leaving, I saw the girl I had scarpered from standing on stage, giving me daggers!

Ah - why did nobody explain these "unwritten rules". Too late now Martin. So when I asked three or four question and tried a mooch, I was an entire slow set too early? Explains a lot The "chat" was a vital necessity. Many moons back I "got off" with what I thought was a fine thing on a Saturday night in the grove, only to be greeted by huge laughter on the Monday morning. The friend we had in common informed that this girl was three years younger than she had let on. she was a second year or some such. After that, there were a few extra questions thrown into the "interrogation" to try and ensure that didn't happen again. The cunning ask the same question in three different ways and see does she trip herself up with the answers. ------------- I'm searching for that cash I should have saved for the crash |

Remember another night very early in my grove days (or maybe even a social in Paul's?). Must have been very early because the auld fella gave me a lift home. He noticed something, turned out it was puke on the shoulder of my jacket. Now, I can understand the girl in question (I assume a slow set was the lost likely place to get someone puking on you?) feeling a bit queasy, but puking on me.

I NEVER asked anyone 'would you like to come out to the compund?' as that (in my head) sounded like I would have been after only one thing and I didn't want to frighten anyone off. In fact if someone did say yes to a dance I was grateful enough for that. I had a HORRIBLE experience in the compound one night. I was going a with a girl and it wasn't going well,not working out and I didn't really want to go any longer but didn't know how to 'break it off' (God-isn't that a real teenage expression?) And just as I was rehearsng the words in my head she said 'wait-before you say anything,here's your birthday present' and gave me a watch! Gobsmacked,I took it and thanked her,and then (you know what's coming next) she said 'what were you going to say?' and I then broke it off! Terrible.

I remember a friend of ours from Clontarf (french fella living in Ireland) telling me one night (think it was one of them Summer reunions on the Wednesday) that this other French girl in the "compound" was (and I quote) "mad about hippies" and wanted me to go out to her. I cant remember if I thought it was a wind-up by him/her or I was just too shy but I didnt head out. Heading home at 1am, I saw herself and this other long haired chap together and thinking to myself "you complete wally"......  ------------- TPFKAB (The Poster Formerly Known As Brunswick). |

These days Pogue you would probably get a couple of hundred volts in the ass from one of those zappers. Our Teresa would have about 1000 volts in her one then when you are down she would send for all her brothers. Jases wept....... ------------- Dayo Grov'in 70 - 76 |

| In the old Grove they wouldn't let you go outside and come back in again. Once you were inside you had to keep quiet and listen to the music. You were only allowed talk when the French and Spanish arrived and if they wanted to rob your girlfriend you had to let them. |
