Meetings & Events

Photo Exhibition at Fellowship House

The Photography in London group is currently holding an exhibition of 36 photographs on the theme ‘Out and About’ at Fellowship House, 136a Willifield Way NW11 6YD. Entry is free. The exhibition will run through July and August.

Monthly Talks

Our Monthly Talks are offered to members of HGS u3a. Non-members are invited to join us for a free taster session. Members can bring a carer at no charge. There is a ramp and accessible toilet.

They take place at the HGS Free Church, North Square, NW11 7AG each month during our term times. Doors open at 2.30 pm providing an opportunity to chat with your neighbours before the event starts. There will also be time for socialising after the talk.

From May, we are experimenting with holding the talks on different days of the week to enable members who aren’t able to get away on Thursday afternoons to enjoy these talks as well.

Thursday 19 September: Jo Salter, first woman fighter pilot in RAF.

Monday 21 October: Vicky Fox, CEO Supreme Court.

Tuesday 19 November: John Graham — The little-known heroes who created three of the finest English institutions (Oxford English Dictionary, King James Bible, Imperial War Graves Commission).

Recordings of Some Previous Talks

Professor Lynne Cox of Oriel College Oxford gave a talk on Preparing for Ageing Well in September 2022. Her talk was a terrific review of what we can do now to live a healthier life in old age and fascinating research on possible future medical interventions. Click this link to view a recording which covers the talk (apart from the opening couple of minutes).

You can also watch a recording of the October 2022 talk, when local author Amanda Weinberg spoke about her historical novel Tears of Monterini based on true events during Mussolini’s fascist era.

The talk in November 2022 was given by Anne-Marie O’Connor, who discussed the fascinating saga behind Klimt’s famous painting of the Lady in Gold. Click here to view the recording.
