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 29th June: David C Evans—“Plus Full Supporting Programme”.
The heyday of cinema-going in Britain, 1941 to early 1950s. How cinemas faced some of the challenges of the era and what the audience could expect to see during their picture-going experience at this time.
Thursday 27th July: Terry Feldman MSc(Psych)—“Thinking” Do you think?
Come and find out if you do (or not).

London Loop: Section 21 Date: Sunday July 2nd
Havering-atte-Bower to Harold Wood station
Activity: 4.3mile linear walk. From the attractive village of Havering-atte-Bower this section first passes through high-lying, undulating farmland, to reach Noak Hill. It then follows a narrow green strip through the suburb of Harold Hill, which lies beside Carter's and Paine's Brooks. These streams flow into the River Ingrebourne, which itself joins the Thames at Rainham Creek.
Walking Conditions: This section has generally fairly level walking, mostly on rough paths, tracks and grass and there are five stiles. The section through Central Park is suitable for people with limited mobility and pushchairs.
It may be muddy at times. Comfortable sturdy walking boots are essential.
Refreshments: Bring your own provisions. We could stop either for a picnic or have lunch at Noak Hill, at the Bear pub. There are public toilets at Havering-atte-Bower.
Travel: Meet at 9.00 Harrow-on-the-Hill (Met Line) Ticket Office. Change at Liverpool Street (Train) to Romford station. Bus 103 to Chase Cross, from which it is a mile long walk along Orange Tree Hill to Havering-atte-Bower.

Finish: Around 14.30 at Harold Wood station (rail) (TQ547905) Change at Liverpool Street (Met Line).

LIVE THEATRE BROADCASTS
We would like to draw members’ attention to a wonderful facility being offered at cinemas by way of LIVE transmissions of performances from the Royal Opera House, the Metropolitan Opera House, the National Theatre and other theatres and even the latest Exhibitions. Some of you are already aware of this and have enjoyed some great programmes for a fraction of the cost of a theatre ticket.
To see a full list of what’s on offer over the next few months, visit the website www.myvue.com/specialevents
Here’s a flavour of coming events:
ROH Opera: Otello (28/6)
ROH Ballet: During the 2017/18 Season, six productions from The Royal Opera and six from The Royal Ballet will be relayed live from Covent Garden to cinemas around the world. The programme features a mixture of new productions and classic works.
Pam.
