  Spuds and Sill are proud to present their 2026 Spring production of " Eclipsed" by Patricia Burke Brogen.

  Set in 1960s Ireland, Eclipsed follows the lives of women confined to Saint Paul’s Home for Penitent Women—sent there simply for being unmarried mothers or for circumstances beyond their control. Despite the strictness of their world, the play is filled with humour, friendship, and moments of hope as the women share dreams, banter, and small stolen joys.

  Join us for a moving production celebrating resilience and sisterhood.

  Shows 24th and 25th of April, on Friday evening and Saturday afternoon and evening. Book here:

  ”Eclipsed", Friday evening performance

  Proposals from members must reach the board no later than 14 days in advance of the AGM.
  We are requesting that all members make a special effort to attend, both to support the work of the Society, to have an active say in how the Society is run and to shape the events and broader work that it does to support our communities. The AGM is also a wonderful chance for members to meet and spend time together, to reflect and to give the Society its annual check-up!
  What happens at the AGM
  At the AGM, the Board will report back to the members on what has been done during the previous year, the activities that have taken place and how money has been used.  The auditor will present her report and the Board will answer questions and discuss event ideas for the coming year.The relevant formal documents including the annual accounts and the annual activity report will be  available for review in the members-only section of the website in advance:
  We thank the Embassy of Ireland for agreeing to host the meeting. Refreshments will be served after the meeting. We hope to see many of you there!
  Elections
  Elections will be held for Board positions. Regular positions are held for 2 years, and deputy positions are 1-year posts.
  Eligibility and registration
  Active ( i.e. paid-up members, not lapsed) members are eligible to attend, and members who have joined/renewed more than 30 days prior to the meeting may vote. Kind regards
