Saturday 18th & Sunday
19th July 2009
…There’s something for children of all ages and
young people at this year’s Dartford Festival.
For
the most competitive minded there is an array of
competitions including problem solving tasks and
exciting challenges to some great participation
games and activities.
All manner of magic will be happening at the
Marquee with the Dartford Town Centre Heritage Initiative there will be a series of delightful
‘line drawings’, taken from the photographic
archive of historical buildings and these will be
available for youngsters to children to colour in
with a prize given each day of the Festival for the
best effort.
Art for Arts Sake
The Dartford Arts Group will be encouraging
children to paint acrylic on canvas and kids will be
invited to join in and demonstrate your painting
prowess and top techniques!
Competition Crazy
From cup cake queens to painting perfect pictures,
Dartford Festival has a veritable treasure chest of
exciting competitions open to people of all ages
but some with a special emphasis for teenagers
under 18.
You don’t have to be a Dartford resident to enter either.

Showground Sensation …
Action packed fun and games can be enjoyed at
the Showground zone from giant inflatables,
Quad bikes, an exacting Army Assault Course to
Charlton Athletic, Dartford Football Club and
Goals who will be fielding a 5-a-side goal for a
chance to take part in a penalty shoot out against
the goal-keeper.
Pedal power gets a push with a
cycling skills showcase and workshop from Team
Darenth and all the young, talented Judo enthusiasts out there will get a chance to see a fantastic
demonstration of skills and prowess from the instructors of the Dartford Judo club too.
In the swim …
If ‘swim is your thing’ then why not register at the
Festival’s Scuba Doo stand (don’t forget to bring a
towel, swimming costume and t-shirt) then learn
to scuba dive at Fairfield Pool.

Dartford gives other
Councils a lead
Dartford Borough Council Leader Jeremy
Kite is to rein in the council’s refreshment
and hospitality budgets as part of his determination to see that the council absorb recessionary pressures rather than pass on higher
bills or reduce services for residents.
The budget used to fund a range of Member
and Mayoral services including refreshments
for meetings and the annual civic reception
was slashed as part of proposals announced at
the council’s budget meeting on Monday 2
March.
Cllr Jeremy Kite, Leader of Dartford Borough Council, says it is important for councillors to accept a fair share of the financial
pressures at a time when local families are
worried about their jobs,
“I’ve asked Civic Centre colleagues to save
£18,000 in the way we administer ourselves
and match some of the big savings I have
been able to make in the way my own office
runs.

Young people will be able to
once again ‘jump-in’ to a Swanley pool party when the popular
event comes back to the town
next month.
The Jump-in’ pool party will be held at White
Oak Leisure Centre on Saturday 18 July from
6pm to 8pm, exclusively for 8 to 14 year olds.
There will be a DJ playing all the latest tunes,
cool lights, plenty of fun stuff in the pool, all for
just £5!
Tickets can be purchased in advance from White
Oak Leisure Centre or on the night.
Places are
limited and the last party sold out, so buy your
tickets early to avoid disappointment!
Young people will have the pool completely to
themselves at the event and the café at the
Leisure Centre will also be open with special offers for parents and guardians who want to stay.
Cllr Pat Bosley, Sevenoaks District Council
Cabinet member with responsibility for healthy
living, says: “These pool parties are a new initiative, we only started them this year, but they
have already proved a real hit.
Everyone who attends them has a lot of fun, so make sure you
get your ticket early to avoid disappointment!”
This initiative has been organised by Sevenoaks
District Council in partnership with Sencio
Community Leisure and is funded by NHS
West Kent as part of the National Choosing
Health agenda, which aims to make healthy
choices easier.
To book tickets in advance contact White Oak
Leisure Centre by calling 01322 662188, or for
more information on the event call Sevenoaks
District Council on 01732 227000.
