••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• welcome The festive party season as we know it is over; the morning-after-thenight-before excuse is all but used up; and the reality of our overindulgences has left us plotting a (perhaps unrealistic) plan of attack. Yes, typically, it's time to confess our sins and pen our New Year's resolutions for 2015. (p23) to warrant a trip or two. Don't miss out on Turner Contemporary's impressive 2015 programme, which kicks off with new exhibition, Self: Image and Identity, this January (p19), and remain poised for the release of Kent Big Weekend tickets come 27th (p16). Here's wishing you all a happy New Year filled with health, happiness, and many, many good times . If like me, 'tis the season for a detox, a number of your resolutions may focus on exercising more, eating better, and making healthier choices in relation to your overall wellbeing. Need inspiration? iK's health and fitness feature (p69) offers tips, tricks, diet plans and more to get you on your way. Enjoy the read and stay in touch by joining us on Facebook and Twitter @insideKENT. If you have any comments or suggestions, we'd love to hear from you at [email protected] Another personal – and by far my favourite – pledge is to take more of an active role in local charities and in turn, support their unprecedented work. Determined this will not be a fleeting resolution, and always one to make a mountain out of a molehill (literally), I signed up to take on Ben Nevis this June in aid of Demelza's 101 challenge. To find out more about the event, or to book your space on the dream team, hike over to page 126. As the saying goes, 'work hard, play hard'. The diary may have eased up this month, but there are plenty of fun days out (p90) and Kent events www.insidekentmagazine.co.uk @insidekent /insidekent /insidekent insidekentmagazine Editor Gemma Dunn Feature Writer Lisamarie Lamb Design Manager Dave Leo Yogore Fashion Editor Molly Neznanski Gil Account Managers Alex Perseval / Cathy Jinks / Natalie Keeble Administrative Assistant Kelly Hyham Contributors Dan Nesbit / Sarah Redman / Cathy Jinks / Julie Clark / Atul Kochhar / Vikki Rimmer Zoe Giles / Emily Guille-Marrett / Matt Gwyn / Rick Schofield / Philip Youdan / Ian Priston / Michael Bruce Photography Luke Yates -Creative & Editorial Director Donna Martin Sales & Publishing Director Adam Ready Cover Image © Stephen White insideKENT Magazine is published by Sideways Media Ltd The Workshop | 32-40 Tontine Street | Folkestone | CT20 1JU [email protected] | www.sidewaysmedia.co.uk For general enquiries, please contact 01303 766111 @hellosideways /hellosideways When you have finished with this magazine, please pass it on to a friend or recycle it.
