THE IMPORTANCE OF LPAs
Talk given by Gaye Illsley on 30 August 2019
Gaye gave an excellent presentation and it was clear from the large audience and their response that they were convinced of the importance of LPAs. Gaye has let us have a copy of her Powerpoint presentation notes which members can access here. Application fees for LPAs have come down in price and if you applied to register a power of attorney between 1 April 2013 to 31 March 2017 you can get part of your application fee back. More information about refunds can be seen here.

MONTHLY SPEAKERS MEETINGS
Talks are on the last Thursday in the month (except where noted otherwise) and start promptly at 10.30am. They 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 do not disturb the speaker or audience. For further details please check the U3A notice board in the entrance lobby near the lift. I have tried to arrange a wide range of subjects and have asked the most popular speakers to return.These meetings provide an opportunity for members from all groups to come together and we welcome non-members before joining Harrow U3A. The meetings are unashamedly publicity-seeking and to advertise U3A to a wide audience.

Speakers Secretary
Thursday 31st October: Nick Dobson--“The Poetry is in the Pity”
The verse of soldier poets of the Great War captured the horror of modern trench warfare, but so did the art of official war artists. We will examine the poetry of Wilfred Owen, Siegfried Sassoon and Isaac Rosenberg alongside the art of Paul Nash, John Singer Sargent and others. Illustrated by readings and slides.
Thursday 28th November: Philippa Radford-Hancock--“The British Red Cross, Past, Present & Future”
An interesting and informative talk on the history of the world's largest humanitarian organisation, who started it, why, when and how; its fundamental principles and values. The talk focuses on some of the largest crises around the world in the last few years, “How can a simple red cross on a white background mean so much?” -Winston Churchill.
