Performers wanted for Seniors' Idol

Ettalong Beach War Memorial Club is calling for performers for its Seniors Idol competition.

The heats will run daily from Monday, April 3, to Thursday, April 6, from 1pm.

The event will also include daily prizes.

The Grand Final will be held on Friday, April 7, from 6:30pm and will feature Ms Jeannie Little who will serve as special guest judge.

"I'm just so excited, darlings," said Ms Little.

"It'll just be too hard a decision, darlings, but I'll do my best."

The Club's publicity officer Mr Scott MacKillop said: "Jeannie will then show us all how it's done as she performs a set from her critically acclaimed show Marlene: A Tribute to Dietrich."

Entry to the heats is free, with tickets to the Grand Final costing $25, which includes an "elegant" supper and drinks.

To help celebrate Seniors' Week, the Club will also be offering a slice of cake and a cup of tea or coffee for only $3 for the entire week, upon presentation of a Seniors' Card.

"Last year's competition drew 500 people to the Seniors' Idol Grand Final, and the competition is back to celebrate Seniors' Week 2006," said Mr MacKillop.

Anyone over 55 who is interested in competing should contact the Club reception on 4343 0111, as soon as possible.
