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 27th September: Ant Grant – “Another Omelette, Mister Gielgud?” Inheriting a Rolleiflex camera as a young art student upon the premature death of his father, Ant hurriedly converted his bedroom into a studio and invited every famous person he'd ever heard of to be photographed in aid of the Royal Marsden – and they came! Come and hear his fantastic story!
Thursday 25th October: Parveen Zafar B.Sc. - “The Changing Role of the Pharmacy”. Parveen, together with a colleague from Lloyds Pharmacy, will describe the services now provided.
Thursday 29th November: Howard Slater – “Audrey Hepburn”. The tale of Audrey Hepburn growing up among the Nazis during WW2.
