WHEN it comes to talent, old age doesn't have to signal the end of the road.
Star performers like Bruce Forsyth and Shirley Bassey are living proof that entertainers can still perform well into their 70s and 80s.
Now members of the older generation in Suffolk are being encouraged to take part in a series of talent shows in Bupa care homes.
Bupa Wants Talent is being held to mark UK Older People's Day on October 1, a national day of events to celebrate later life.
Siobhan Drane, Bupa's community consultant, said: “Whether your talents lie in singing, dancing, flower arranging or being an expert on the pottery wheel, we want to hear from you.”
Entries must be received by Monday, August 31 - simply provide your name, contact details and your chosen talent and Bupa will be in touch with further details.
