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.

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:
 
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.
