I have an Idea

U3A Dacorum like many U3A's use PowerPoint presentations. They usually take many hours to produce. We take them to a meeting - one or two hours later - all over - what do you do with your presentation? Why not make it available for other U3A - watch this space!

U3A Dacorum are prepared to make our PowerPoint Presentations available to other U3A's free of charge. All have notes and some have a Word document commentary as well.

They are all produced by our non-academic members (usually me) and therefore the content is accurate to the best of our knowledge.  You can amend alter or us parts as you think fit. Most of the pictures used are from my personal library or the web.

We have
Farming - from a pointed stick though oxen, horse, steam to the old grey Fergie tractor.
