The Seminars are an opportunity for members to talk about the topics that interest them – and it is amazing how wide the range of topics can be. Some of the Seminars have led to the formation of regular groups – e.g. Philosophy and American History – others have just provided a fascinating morning for all those who have attended, for example the experiences of evacuees and Alan Hills experiences on Christmas Island
We meet at the Abbott Hall Social Centre on Dowkers Lane. Dates and times vary, but coffee is available at 15 minutes before the start. The format is usually a presentation followed by questions and discussion – but it’s all very informal and flexible depending on the topic.
Everyone in U3A is always very welcome to come along and we look forward to seeing you.
For more information contact the coordinator Terry McIntee.
The dates for the next Seminars are as follows, but do check the website and the newsletters for further details nearer the time.
Lead by Carol Allen
Carol Allen is a member of Lancaster and Morecambe U3A. She is a Consultant Archaeologist and a regular tutor at Myerscough College. (I can personally vouch for the excellence of her courses.) Carol says we will look at Stonehenge ‘and the life of people at that time.’ This promises to be a wonderful and informative Seminar.

November 2011
On 1st November in The Court Room Preston Patrick Hall, Jackie and Stuart Hinton repeated The Shackelton Talk. Thirty people attended and as the room was free we had a collection for the Air Ambulance and raised £60. Many thanks to Jennifer Armitage who hosted and organised the event.
6 October 2011: Shackleton
39 people attended this excellent Seminar presented by Jackie and Stuart Hinton. We learnt about Shackleton’s voyages and his relationship with Scott. Jackie and Stuart amazed us with descriptions of the hardships the men endured. They illustrated their talk with a remarkable selection of pictures.
