he arrival of a new year always prompts a bit of self-reflection and planning. We might know, logically, that there’s precious little difference between the last day in December and the first day in January, but that doesn’t stop us from getting swept up in feelings of new beginnings and fresh- slate purposefulness. For many, that means signing up to a gymmembership or swearing off booze for a bit, but inside this issue,
Charlotte Phillips makes an argument for swapping ‘punitive with positive’ when it comes to this year’s resolutions. Looking into the sometimes life-changing benefits of evening classes, she speaks with local teachers and students to find out more about the inspiring, challenging and fun opportunities on offer in Cambridge, from breadmaking to creative writing. Have a read on page 77. When it comes to making a positive change, we’re starting at home, by kicking off our Charity of the Year initiative this month. After much deliberation, we chose East Anglian Air Ambulance as the cause we wanted to support, and we’re pledging to raise £10,000 for this amazing organisation over the course of 2020. Turn to page 53 to find out more about the life-saving work of this incredible charity – and how you can help us reach our goal. Back for another year is our Ones to Watch feature: a round-up of the foodie movers and shakers we reckon will be stepping up to the plate to shape Cambridge’s food scene in the year to come. After a rush of recent openings, there was plenty to choose between this time around, but we think we’ve skimmed it down to the cream of the crop over on page 34. Frommouth-watering Spanish delicacies at Mercado Central to vibrant Indian dishes at Tawa Kitchen, via exquisite coffee, inventive veggie food and a super swish new south Cambridgeshire hotel, there’s definitely lots to look forward to on Cambridge’s dining scene in the coming months. There’s also news on gigs to blast away the Christmas comedown in our After Hours section (page 22), exhibitions and theatre shows
