World Cup 2018
This summer the 2018 World Cup is taking place in Russia where 32 teams from around the world are battling out to reign supreme.
Brazil, Germany, Russia, and Portugal are favorites this year.
Russia won their first match 5 nil and being the hosts was a nice start for them.
The big first match was between Spain and Portugal which ended 3-3 and was a great match. Cristiano Ronaldo is on form this year with 4 goals in 2 games so far and he scored a hat-trick against Spain in their first match of the tournament.
Here in Phoenix we are showing some of the games live and for the football fans among us this month long festival of sport is a welcome treat.
Tea Dance 2018
Yesterday we attended the SDCC Tea Dance which was held in the lovely surroundings of the Red Cow Moran Hotel. The evening started off with a prize giving ceremony recognizing the many talents of people in our local community.
Two of our own members received rewards for their art and music projects. We have a very talented bunch here in Phoenix and yesterday was proof of that!
The event ended with light refreshments and dancing into the evening. Overall the evening was a hit and was enjoyed by all.
Looking forward to next year already !!!!

Collins Barracks Trip 2018
On Tuesday 27th March a group of our members accompanied by staff Laura and Mark hopped on the LUAS into town and went to visit the National History Museum situated in the old Collins Military Barracks. It was a very enjoyable experience, the museum covers all aspects of historical times up to and including a large installation on Irish Military History throughout the ages. It is well worth a visit and all our members really enjoyed the day with some vowing to return in the future.
