Eddington Eats Wednesday 4 March

Another popular Eddington Eats was held last Wednesday. Thank you very much Lis, our head cook and team of volunteers for this North-African lentil soup and salad.

Eddington Eats is a monthly pop-up community restaurant at Storey’s Field Centre. By neighbours for neighbours; a group of volunteers get together to cook a healthy, delicious dish every month to share and create an evening for Eddington residents to eat and meet. Our aim is to share the joy of cooking and good food, and to combat isolation and loneliness. The restaurant serves dishes from varying cuisines, using recipes suggested by fellow residents who wish to participate and share their food culture. Forget about doing the dishes and enjoy a fun, cosy evening with great food and conversation!

On 27 February a 'Cantab Integrated Community' workshop was held at the Storey's Field Centre.

Vision:

"The Cantab Integrated Neighbourhood aims to improve the health and wellbeing of its population of nearly 50,000 people. It will bring together a multidisciplinary team of individuals and organisations to deliver proactive person-centred care in a way that is collaborative and seamless for the population it serves and the staff involved."

This is a new initiative (July 2019) where local GP practices join together to better share resources and harness the voluntary sectors, including community groups.

Coming to Eddington...

Dulcedo Patisserie is in negotiation to open in Eddington. This will be a very welcome addition to our community.

Dulcedo, currently in Hills Road, was featured 'Independent of the Month' in Cambridge Edition February 2020. In the article proprietor Andrew Hunter stated; "Currently, there isn’t a restaurant in Eddington, other than a nearby Beefeater, so Andrew and Joanna are hoping Dulcedo will be a welcome addition to the growing community in this part of Cambridge." Andrew: You don't have to worry, you you will be very welcome by Eddington residents and we can't wait for you to open here.

"Nothing is so beautiful as Spring"

Celebrate springtime at Eddie's Cafe Springtime Sunday Special at 10am on 8th March at the University of Cambridge Primary School, Eddington, where you will also find music, crafts, activities and Eddie's Cafe's famous cakes and refreshments!

A Mobile library will be at Eddington Place (opposite Storey's Field Centre) on the third Friday of every month 11-12. This is a three-month trial starting in December 2019. This could become long term if 3-4 families use the library.

Eddington was treated to an evening of superbly performed Christmas Carols. Approximately 25 Choristers from the New Communities in NW Cambridge joined with choir member from the Mathematics Department to perform in our Market Square before moving to the Storey's Field community centre. Reverberations from apartments around the square helped to make a great sound stage and the fine voices were heard across central Eddington.

The Association's official launch!

The I'm Dreaming of a Green Christmas event was held at the Storey's Field Community Center on Saturday 14th December, 11am - 3pm.
