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.
