Dublin South Arch Club
and Mama Mia
In 2015 the senior members of Dublin South Arch
Club took on the enormous challenge of putting on
a stage a version of Mama Mia.
It required a lot of hard work and commitment on
behalf of the members as well as their families and
volunteers. Sandra Mullen guided and directed the
preparation for the performance which took place
in Clonkeen College hall on Saturday 23rd of May.
All the performers had to give up their Sunday
afternoons as well as Friday nights coming up to
the deadline. It is safe to say that everyone
connected to the performance had Dancing
Queen, Mama Mia, Money, Money, Gimme
Gimme Gimme and lots more ringing in their ears.
The younger members and their families and
friends came to the show and created a fantastic
atmosphere of fun and celebration. The pride that
the parents and families of the performers took in
the accomplishment of their young people was
palpable and there for all to see and experience. It
was as if the young people had moved up to a new
level of accomplishment and achievement.
Of all the projects that the club has undertaken
over the year Mama Mia has to stand out as one of
the highlights in the history of the club.
Well done everyone who was involved. It was a
great achievement. Be proud!!!

Halloween Disco
I really enjoyed this year's disco. The music
was great and the D.J. played music from
different eras. I was dancing all night with
my friends. We also had great fun with the
Karaoke. I took part in this. Before Christmas
we also had a "Fit for Fun" night, a
Christmas Craft Night, a Christmas Service
Night, a meal together in a restaurant and a
visit to the Naas Panto.
