NEW FEATURES
CAN WE DRIVE YOU UP THE WALL?An invitation!Next week on
Friday 16th and Saturday 17th July at Olympia in London we are
sponsoring We would like to invite you to come and have a go and help overturn a few stereotypes. It's a bit of fun but also has a serious point that today concepts have changed and retirement marks the start rather than the end of new opportunities in life.
Tony Clack, founder of laterlife.com, getting some practice in!
It's all very safe with harnesses etc. and trained staff showing you how to go about it. You don't have to get to the top, just as much as you feel comfortable with. Our stand is A34 which is opposite the Climbing Wall, so do come and say hello and also enter our 'Laterlife Retirement Experience' competition to win a £100 'Red Letter Days' voucher to try a new experience of your choosing.

available at the show
FOLLOW LATERLIFE ON TWITTER FOR THE LATEST NEW CONTENT, COMPETITION NEWS AND OFFERS UPCOMING WEBCASTS The State of Retirement in 2010 A report being published by LV=, Britain’s largest friendly society, will highlight the plight of nearly two million over-50s forced to delay retirement due to the economic crisis. Most are understandably depressed or just plain angry about their situation. Many more say they face the prospect of having a lower income in later life than they were expecting.
We launched the new Later Lifestyle forum two months ago and there is now regular activity in the forum including chat and some great photos. There are some interesting threads to take a look at and participate in and a number of new people have joined since the last newsletter. As you can see from the stats within the individual threads some 20 or 30 times as many people view the threads as participate. So do take a couple of minutes to join in, even if you've never used a forum before, your thoughts and opinions are valued! Just go to Later Lifestyle and click on the forum link. If you are one of the 600+ people currently registered on the network you can login with your existing email address and password. If you've forgotten your password just click on login without giving a password and then use the 'forgot password?' link and it will be emailed to you. Don't forget you do need to register on the network separately, you aren't automatically able to login if you receive this newsletter. FEATURES ...and links to new sites you will want to explore

or go to the relevant index to find what you are looking for: As well as this month's current features you can always search our past articles, too. Visit the laterlife interest index and the healthwise-index (covering articles in the last 2 years - both of which also provide links to lead you to earlier articles). Don't forget - you can also use the keyword site search facility on every page to find anything on the laterlife site. LATERLIFE GUIDE GUIDES As you may remember from last month, we've decided to put our Guide to our most recently updated Guide on the web site rather than in the newsletter from now on. This month we're looking at Making the Most of the Internet. Knowing how to access and utilise the Internet can be a real boon to those of us who are retired and this Guide will help all those who feel that they need a bit more confidence in using it. SITE FOCUS Each month we focus on an aspect of the site to update and remind you about. This is also be on the web site from now on. This month we're reminding you about our section on Voluntary Work. So click here for an introduction to that part of the site that will help you to find out all about it.
