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.

Speakers Secretary
Thursday 25th April: Barbara Whittle — ‘The Life and Music of Edith Piaf’
Barbara Whittle of jazz singer fame returns to speak about this iconic French singer who rose
from the streets of Paris to international stardom.
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.
