    New Tech – When Does it Change the Workplace?

    🗓️ Start: Tue 20 Oct 2026 3:00 pm
    ⏳ End: Tue 20 Oct 2026 5:00 pm

    This month I’m delighted to invite Phill Fox to come and talk to us about how generative AI might impact our workplace and jobs.  Phill is an AdaptaKind Ambassador for the Adaptavist Group – I saw him present at the Shambala festival as part of the CERN festival program.

    Plenty of time is reserved for discussions … since generative AI is so much in the news at the moment, I’m expecting a lively discussion.

    24 hours since enrolment opened, my #U3A course on #MMT is half full!

    Turns out people are interested in economics if you make it sound silly enough.

    Looks like I've three weeks to prepare an eight-week course. No pressure.

    The Power of Hydraulics

    🗓️ Start: Wed 14 Oct 2026 10:30 am
    ⏳ End: Wed 14 Oct 2026 12:00 pm

    As a technology, hydraulic fluid power has been around since the Industrial Revolution, more than 200 years ago. And in industries as diverse as transport, manufacturing, construction and waste disposal, this instant and precisely controllable source of power, generated by a pressurised liquid in a confined space, continues to shape the modern world. In this light-hearted presentation, guest speaker Steve Skinner, with the aid of some eye-catching animations, will reveal some of its many applications, past and present. From the familiarity of London’s iconic Tower Bridge to the surreal alternative reality of taking 700 intrepid Victorians on a simulated sea voyage in the centre of Paris, hydraulic fluid power has been one of our most versatile technologies, and remains so today.

    Hoping to present the idea of the #ferdiverse to the #u3a council soon as they formulate their next 5 years strategy.

    Whilst good timing, I expect a lot of pushback from #facebook fans. Still, you've got to try right ?
