If you’re a cricket fan and a woman then the Maiden Gully Marists want you for a new competition and there’s a chance to get along to an information session on Friday. 

You can also scope out our little yellow and black friends this weekend at the annual apiarists get together in Harcourt.

If you’re travelling to the bee-keeping fest, why not stop at a few artists’ studios along the way at the Mandurang  Valley art trail, or drop into Bendigo and Castlemaine for Artlands, a biennial event that shines a national spotlight on Australia's regional arts.  

Are you a fan of fine dining? There are now four restaurants in central Victoria with a one-hat rating in the Good Food Guide. You’ll find them in Bendigo, Kyneton and Castlemaine. 

And last, but not least, are you looking for a bit of sporting action with a difference this weekend? Why not get along to the largest event on the Australian tennis table calendar – the Australian veterans championship on in Bendigo. Spectators are welcome. Who knows, it might inspire you to take it up. 

Have a great weekend.
