Good morning all,

It doesn’t matter where you are this week there’s something happening near you, as listed below.

Today the 2nd. We have the Calcutta for the Melbourne Cup at the Ivanhoe RSL Club tonight at 8 PM. Heaps more happening there too.

Tuesday the 3rd. (Melbourne Cup remember!), there’s Cup luncheons on at, Wilcannia Golf Club, 1 PM. All welcome. The Ivanhoe Pub, again all welcome. And the White Cliffs Pub, welcome again. And don’t forget the big Wentworth Cup Day Race Meeting. Fun for all. By the way, an evening meal at Miss Barrett’s Coffee Shop Wednesday night, BYO, start of great things to come!

Today 2nd. to 6th. “The Wentworth wearable Art Exhibition”, is on there during Cup week, you’ve got all week to see it.

Moving on, we have the Burra Country Music Festival at the end of the week, 6th. 7th. and 8th. Big event in the Burra calendar and a great show.

If you’re in that area, then stick around for the “Booborowie Lawn Mower Racing Day” (near Burra) It’s on the 12th. Bet you’ve never seen lawn mower races???.

And the Dareton Twilight Markets.   They are on at 6 PM to 9 PM that very day the 13th. And would you believe the Broken Hill Community Markets are on the next day, the 14th.

Moving on along the calender, we have events coming up at, Buronga on 21st., Coomealla 24th. Wentworth on the 29th. All important events, if I tell you now you’ll forget!
