Cambridge Edition May 2019

RADIO GAGA JULIAN CLOVER AND LUCY MILAZZO, HOSTS OF CAMBRIDGE BREAKFAST, CHAT FOOD, STRAWBERRY FAIR AND THE CAMBRIDGE BAND COMPETITION T he food writer Tim Hayward once told us that, outside of London, there were two cities that had a thriving food scene: Bristol and Cambridge. Tim was born in Bristol and now lives in Cambridge as the co-owner of Fitzbillies. He’s also one of the speakers in the Main Event that kicks off Eat Cambridge at The Guildhall this month. Starting on Saturday 11 May and running through to Sunday 26 May, the Eat Cambridge festival celebrates what’s good about food and drink in the city. It should come as no surprise that your foodie breakfast radio presenters will be hanging out at many of the events – in fact, our Friday Foodclub feature has already given us a chance to meet with many of the exhibitors getting involved! Later in the month, we’re hoping to run a special 12-hour marathon broadcast in aid of Oxfam. Our colleague, Tim Willett, will be in the studio throughout, with presenters popping in to give him moral support and live sessions from some of the city’s finest musicians. Later, Oxjam Cambridge brings live music to our favourite bars and venues.

Also in May, we’re unveiling which bands will be appearing on the Cambridge 105 Radio stage at Strawberry Fair. It’s a chance to hear some of the city’s musical talent live and for free – though we encourage you to give generously to anyone waving a bucket in your direction. Listen out for news of our headliners, which in previous years have included Tom Lumley & The Brave Liaison, Hollowstar, 4th Labyrinth and the wonderful Fred’s House. We’re also going to be giving you a chance to hear some young talent,

Strawberry Fair is the first of a number of musical events that we’re covering during the summer months. We’re also be at The Big Weekend on Parker’s Piece and, of course, the Cambridge Folk Festival. Julian Clover and Lucy Milazzo present Cambridge Breakfast, Cambridge 105 Radio, weekday mornings from 7am.

NEW COMMUNITY CENTRE

G irton residents recently celebrated the official opening of the new William Collyn Community Centre, which offers a range of facilities at the heart of the village. Funded by Girton Town Charity, the centre is located on Wellbrook Way, and is available for use for activities and local groups, as well as corporate and independent bookings for meetings, training sessions and conferences from the wider community. The Centre is open seven days a week and managed on a day-to-day basis by Cambridgeshire ACRE, specialists in rural community development. There are a range of spaces on offer, each fitted with AV equipment, plus a fully equipped kitchen, lavatories, and changing rooms and showers.
