Join us for one of our regular Saturday talks.

Neil Hanson

Neil Hanson's talk "The Ghostwriter" gives us privileged glimpses into the hidden worlds of his ghostwriting clients, including some very famous names and some 'ordinary people achieving extraordinary things', and also reveals the truth behind one of the most earth-shattering events of our times. His talk is revelatory and insightful, but also very, very funny.

Neil Hanson is a successful author with 70 published books to his name. As well as his own, much-acclaimed work, he's also a "ghost writer". His clients include household names - an American showbiz legend, England's most legendary cricketer, a famous actor, one of Britain's most decorated soldiers, an England football manager and a man who turned his family's bakery into Britain's biggest fast-food chain - but also many less celebrated men and women who have led extraordinary lives or achieved remarkable things.

Why this talk is perfect for those newly retired

Retirement opens the door to fresh perspectives, new learning and becoming part of a community of like-minded people. This talk is an excellent opportunity to discover what Ilkley u3a offers — stimulating ideas, new skills, shared interests and a welcoming social network.

Come along, enjoy the talk, meet current members and see how u3a can help make the transition into retirement richer, easier and more connected.
