ENTERTAINING OLDIES
Hello
My name is Willa, I live in an over 50s retirement village on the NSW Central Coast. I was recently asked by our social club to be the scout for entertainers for our functions which everyone looks forward to.As most of you would be aware most social clubs dont have much funds so we are limited on what we can pay entertainers, Im hoping someone could give me a few pointers or know of anywhere I could be in touch with someone who has experience in these matters
any help or advice would be appreciated
Kind Regards
Willa
Hi Willa welcome to the forum. Have you asked
all the members interested, the type of entertainment they prefer?
and then approach people in this area of expertise?
and explain what you need and
ask if they are willing to donate their time now and again or at what cost
would they be willing to do an appearance for you all. You may be pleasantly surprised and your members willing to pay a certain amount for the right
entertainers if they will perform for a moderate amount.
I used to do Yoga/keepfit sessions for Seniors Clubs but sadly it is not what
it used to be, as Insurance now has to come into the equasion. I also
had afternoons in my own home but was told this is even fraught with danger
if not really well insured and yes even when not charging.
It has become a changed world we live in.
Sorry I am no great help
All the very best.
Phyl.
