MONTHLY SPEAKERS MEETINGS
Talks are on the last Thursday in the month (except where noted otherwise) and start promptly at 10.30am and are held in the Hatch End Suites 1 & 2 at the Harrow Arts Centre, Uxbridge Road, Hatch End, HA5 4EA. Please come early to get a good seat and not disturb the speaker or audience. For further details please check the U3A notice boards in the entrance lobby and near the lift. I have tried to arrange a wide range of subjects and have asked the most popular speakers to come back.
These meetings provide an opportunity for members from all groups to come together and welcome non- members, who may attend one meeting before joining Harrow U3A. The meetings are unashamedly publicity- seeking, and to advertise U3A to a wide audience.
Helen West
Speakers Secretary
Thursday 30th May: Ian Keable—“One Hundred Years of Deception: Hoaxes & Swindlers in the 18th Century”
The 1700s was a period where the people of England seemed to be especially gullible. They believed a woman could give birth to rabbits; that a man could climb inside a wine bottle and sing and dance inside it. This illustrated talk promises to be extremely enjoyable.
Thursday 27th June: Barry Buttenshaw—“Prince Charles, Bombs & Barry”
Barry talks of his experiences as a Bomb Disposal Officer in the Royal British Army Ordnance Corps attached to the SAS protecting Prince Charles.
Thursday 25th July: Nigel Coleman—“Barbra Streisand”
Nigel talks on the life and music of the most accomplished female singer songwriter ever, prior to her visit this summer to the U.K.
