TALENT SHOW - WHO’S GOT TALENT!On 30 March a talent show was held at the Manor Lakes Community Learning Centre to encourage members in the community to come and showcase their talent. The idea of creating this event was to get people from all cultures to come together and enjoy the diverse cultures and talents. The event was well attended, which included participants from ages 4 – 60 years. There were 100 members who participated in this Talent Show which included 44 performances which comprised of solo dancing, singing, playing instrument, poetry, mimicry, stand-up comedy and others. The performances were very multicultural as there was a diverse display of talents. The winning participants received trophies to acknowledge their talent.
