On Wednesday 25th our club had a vintage themed Afternoon Tea Party with music and dancing, to celebrate our 10 year anniversary. Our club started from scratch in March 2016; we now have well over 100 paid up members. We had a great attendance, and everyone had a lovely time. We were delighted to welcome our guest Mai Quaid, National President (ARI). Mai has been a great support to our club over the years.
We meet up every Wednesday for bowls, scrabble and card games. We frequently have guest speakers, also other activities organised by SDCC.
We organise day trips during our summer break, 4-day breaks around Ireland in Spring and Autumn, as well as annual holidays abroad. Our next trip this May is to Portugal.
We meet every Wednesday at 1.30 to 4 pm in St Andrew's Parish Hall, Main Street, Lucan new members are always welcome.

Lucan Drama
The Beauty Queen of Leeanne is a multi-award-winning play written by Martin McDonagh and directed by Jacqueline Carroll. Set in the West of Ireland it brings us on a rollercoaster ride of emotions. At times touching, hilarious and heartbreaking it's a play that you won't want to miss.
The show will be performed upstairs at Courtney's in Lucan Village from April 13th to 16th, tickets are now available at gr8events.ie
