#u3a

My talk had a tricky start as I couldn't use a projector; then I was asked for my subs & explained I was actually the speaker 😂 Ended up selling 10 books, a new booking, requests to buy books later & feedback, "Despite the chaos, there was universal praise." #success #U3A #speaker #photography

Hi peeps, looking forward to my third talk this month, sharing my Feisty Females, medieval women from Lincolnshire, with Witham U3A. What 's everyone else up to? #U3A #SteepHill #Lincoln #photography #speaker #publicspeaker #afterdinner #lunch

A lovely welcome from Witham U3A group today, some great answers to my questions, lots of book sales and requests for more talks! What more can a speaker ask for? #speaker #publicspeaker #presenter #photography #Lincoln #Arboretum #EastMidlands #Nottingham #Lincolnshire #U3A #Probus #lunch #clubs

Science Fiction of Iain M Banks, Tonight u3acommunities.org/event/…. Apologies this is a late reminder for this evening's session but domestic u3a has had me in a spin. But, hopefully, t #books #retired #u3a #u3asocial #u3acommunities

An early start today. I'm off to Hoddesdon to do my last in-person talk of the year. I'm speaking to the Lea Valley U3A Family History Group at 10am and I'll be giving them my most popular talk - you know, the one about our lying ancestors... #MyAncestorWasALiar #Genealogy #FamilyHistory #U3A

Delightful walk in the grounds of The Petwood Hotel before my talk to the #WoodhallSpa #U3A. A responsive audience of well over 100 and lovely feedback including, "One of the best talks we've ever had." 🙏 #TenPoundPoms #speaker #photography #naturephotography

Morning all. Here's a- very old- touch of the Australian rainforest which I'll be using in my talk to the U3A in Woodhall Spa next week. So different using a proper camera, rather than my phone! Pentax K1000 #U3A #photography #nature #Australia #speaker #presenter

24 hours since enrolment opened, my #U3A course on #MMT is half full! Turns out people are interested in economics if you make it sound silly enough. Looks like I've three weeks to prepare an eight-week course. No pressure.

Took part in a walk around part of Southwark earlier this week with several friends from #U3A. It’s always good to be reminded of the capital’s less well known green spaces, including the tranquil Red Cross Garden created by Octavia Hill.

Looking forward to introducing the gentlemen of Lincoln Jubilee Probus Club to my Feisty Females, after lunch at The Lincoln Hotel today #Probus #U3A #Speaker #medieval #writing #histfic #Lincolnshire

It was 😍 to speak to 60 members of Lincoln Bailgate U3A early this week on my career as a journalist. 🙏 to Michele for inviting me back and for being such a great audience. #speaker #journalist #talk #U3A #Lincoln #freelance #Guardian #SMH #TheAustralian #TheIndependent #TheAustralian

The Beechworth #U3A politics discussion group marked the #NACC as an F. -with a long list of disappointments including approving #fossilfuel expansion and appeasement on #Gaza genocide So take that Mr Prime Minister @albomp.bsky.social (And btw - we are in #Indi and we now vote #independent)
