The Bournemouth chapter of the University of the Third Age (U3A) are seeking a speaker for their monthly meetings. Talks can be around anything, although they’ve requested nothing overly controversial, and will need to be 45 minutes to an hour including 15 minutes for questions. If you’d be interested in speaking then please email me – nkay@bournemouth.ac.uk with a brief summary of what you’d like to talk about. I’ll forward all names and descriptions I receive by Thursday 8th Dec at 4pm onto their chapter lead for her to select which talks they would like.
The U3A is a fantastically engaged audience and this is a great opportunity to get involved in some public engagement with a ready made audience.
