The Mick Jagger Centre in Dartford echoed with quiet intensity on Saturday 12th July as 48 young minds, aged 6 to 16, competed in the eagerly anticipated Dartford Junior Chess Open 2025. Hosted at one of the town’s most iconic venues, the tournament drew participants from across Kent, Sussex, and London, showcasing the growing enthusiasm for junior chess in the region.
This year’s event featured multiple age and rating categories, designed to give players of all abilities the opportunity to compete in a fair and stimulating environment. The atmosphere was charged with focus, sportsmanship, and budding rivalries — all the hallmarks of a great junior chess event.
Crowned Champions
The Under 11 Open Section saw a commanding performance by Sarwayogan Karlmarx of Wanstead Chess Club, whose confident play and tactical precision made him standout throughout the day. His win earned praise from arbiters and coaches alike, setting a high bar for his age group.
In the Under 11 – Under 700 rating section, Daniel Gardner from Sussex Juniors delivered a solid and consistent performance to take home the gold, showing that calm under pressure is just as valuable as aggression on the board.
The Under 18 – Under 1400 section was dominated by Lalitranjan Vigneswaran of Ilford, whose sharp calculations and endgame technique proved too much for his opponents. Meanwhile, the Under 18 –Under 1000 section was won by Prakul Venugopal, representing Petts Wood & Orpington Chess Club, in a nail-biting finale that impressed spectators and coaches.
Dartford Juniors Make Their Mark
While many of Dartford’s own juniors were competing in a tournament for the very first time, they rose to the occasion with remarkable composure. Local pride ran high as Dartford Juniors earned a total of 1 gold, 6 silver, and 6 bronze medals. Several players also received special prizes for outstanding play, sportsmanship, and most improved performance — a testament to the hard work being put in behind the scenes by the club’s coaching team.
Tournament organizer and Dartford Juniors coordinator Miroslav Danov said, “We’re thrilled with how well
the team performed. For most of them, this was their competitive debut, and they handled it brilliantly. It’s a sign of great things to come for Dartford chess.”
A Bright Future
The Dartford Junior Chess Open has firmly cemented its place on the junior chess calendar. With such a high turnout, strong regional representation, and a wonderfully inclusive spirit, the 2025 edition was a resounding success.
As chess continues to gain popularity among young players, especially in the southeast, events like these are vital stepping stones — not just for discovering talent, but for building confidence, resilience, and friendships across the 64 squares.
We look forward to seeing many of these names again in future events, and perhaps one day, on the international stage.

Over the last year I’ve since moved into a new job which requires regular early shift work - starting at a delightfully early time of 5am on the other side of the county from South Darenth.
This means that 3am alarms (latterly 3.20am… every minute counts, folks!) have become the norm for me.
It started ok - I was a little dazed but was getting through it. That was until my little feline brother Leo clocked on to my new routine….
‘RESULT’ he must have thought. ‘Early breakfast every weekday!’. He tries his luck each and every morning. He doesn’t (usually) succeed. Maybe a few treats to tide him over until my dad wakes up a few hours later.
As time has gone on, I’ve noticed that I’m not quite able to get stuck into a routine on this shift pattern - why so? Leo. That’s why. We’ve now got into some new quirky habits, these include:
- Waking me up randomly at 1.30am just to release his ‘zoomies’. Maybe he doesn’t trust I’ll wake up at the actual alarm time… (it’s ok, I think a bed frame with scratches everywhere looks rather trendy, don’t you?)
- Deciding he needs to wake me up around 10pm to
escort him to the back door (which is usually left open ever so slightly to allow him access to leave anyway…). He can’t be seen leaving without an usher to guide him it seems.
- If the above point at 10pm isn’t required, it is replaced with a 10-11pm arrival alongside dad as he gets in from his evenings work as a London cabby. As soon as the door opens, in he marches with a fanfare meow (plus a chorus of Shushing from dad) from the landing just to let me know he’s safe, just as I was finally drifting off…. but that’s fine(!!!).
- And one key reason which usually results in me running late - Leo deciding that at 4.25am he is now ready to head back home, but it has to be via the front door and he can only suddenly dart across streets of outer Dartford to the front doorstep as soon as I’ve got in the car and put the keys in ignition. Any earlier would be uncool. Obviously.
So. The moral of this mini rant? If you work on the early shift, don’t worry about having an alarm, just get a cat! Oh, and be prepared to be a few minutes late virtually every day because using the open back door isn’t the done thing. Has to be the front. And they have to have a few extra minutes of meowing and procrastinating if they actually want to go in. ‘Dad will give you a treat if you go in RIGHT NOW’ I tend to say. It always works. Sorry, Dad. We’ll end up back at Jollyes in Dartford Heath retail park again before we know it!

EMOTIONAL LITERACY AND YOUNG CHILDREN
HOW A TOOL-KIT FOR PARENTS CAN KEEP SUMMER ON TRACK
August is traditionally a time we get to enjoy spending more time with children. Summer holidays and family outings give great opportunities to increase connection with little ones.
With modern life leaving many parents time-poor, there is often increased pressure to ‘make every moment count’, but as every parent knows, sometimes the most perfectly planned day can be upended by the capricious emotions of toddlers and pre-school children.
In the words of educator Jessica Stephens, ‘there is no such thing as a bad child – just angry, hurt, tired, scared, confused, impulsive ones expressing their feelings and needs the only way they know how’.
Knowing how to react to upsets or tantrums and how to help our children manage challenging situations
can make the difference between a day ending in disappointment and upset or ending in smiles after a minor hiccup.
Part of the strong family ethos at KatieB Kids includes working in partnership and supporting the parenting journey with professional guidance on all aspects of child development – from weaning and language development to supporting children’s emotional wellbeing.
KatieB Kids puts a huge value on emotional literacy and Early Years Manager Louise Mottau says, once parents have a tool-kit to draw on then handling challenging behaviour becomes easier:
“Our child-centred approach is empowering children to have a voice and feel listened to. It’s also about equipping parents with the ability to both manage the normal variety of children’s emotions. This helps children feel valued, respond positively to requests from adults and also understand rules and the consequences for breaking them.”
She adds, “It can also be reassuring for parents to know that, whatever the cause, there is a normal cycle from upset beginning to returning to a normal emotional state, which can take up 90 minutes so using techniques to stay calm yourself and supporting the child in regulating themselves can make life easier for everyone.”
There are two distinct types of outbursts from young children that should be responded to distinctly differently. The first when children are in control of their emotions and are simply trying to get what they want and need clear boundaries from adults; the second is an outburst when stress hormones take over and a child needs nurturing, comforting and soothing.
KatieB Kids expert advice for dealing with tantrums is to ‘tune-in and CARE:
Tune In: to your own emotions and look out for changes in your child
C: Connect and teach children that their emotions are natural
A: Accept and listen to the child – don’t judge or dismiss their feelings
R: Reflect what you see and hear to help children understand themselves
E: End with problem solving together with the child

SUN FUN AND FEET
“Man, it’s a hot one
Like seven inches from the midday sun” (Santana 1999)
Welcome to climate change and further heat waves! Gone are the days when one could stay outside without worrying about sun damage.
Years ago, I happily lay on different foreign beaches, using little more than the most basic sun oil for protection. Getting a tan was a status symbol; we returned to work the envy of colleagues with our golden skin and tan lines. They showed we were embracing outdoor living and implied that we were healthy. We are still sold on the idea that a tanned skin is a healthy one. It isn’t. It’s damaged and can lead to all sorts of problems as we age.
As I’ve aged, I’ve heeded the warnings about the damage sun does to unprotected skin and now I do use a factor 50 cream on my face and arms, (and legs if on show), but never considered my feet might benefit from some TLC too. They are largely forgotten about.
Staring absently at them last night, I thought how much they looked like animal skin. Not an attractive and sleek camouflage, such as a snake, but patchy and faded, similar to one of those stuffed exhibits in a museum. I put it down to the sun dappled shadow from next door’s tree, (I was lounging in the garden at the time), or rather shamefully, that they needed a wash.
Some hours later, clad in little more than my dignity and a purple and gold spotted shower cap, I loaded up the loofah and attacked said feet with gusto and a lot of soap. Despite my endeavours, the patchy discoloured spots remained.
The blotches on my feet were weird. No real form and differing shades of beige! Fearing some creeping skin irritation, I resisted the urge to Google the ‘symptoms’ and decided a bit of pampering might help.
One little mark was sort of star shaped – reminded me of the cutout on my sandals – and then the penny dropped!
During the summer months, I wear sliders, sandals and mary-jane shoes. All different patterns. I’m also outdoors a lot. So, it followed that my feet were exposed to the sun all the time, but in differing styles of shoe. Hence my patterned feet. What a relief! No dodgy irritation, not grubby after a day in the garden, merely tanned according to the pattern on my footwear. I rarely pay such attention to my tootsies. They’re functional, doing the job of allowing me to walk and stopping my legs from fraying! They can be jazzed up with a pedicure, some gorgeous nail colours or hidden in colourful tights or socks. That’s about it. They aren’t the most attractive thing on a body.
In this current hot spell, it is so easy just to slip on flipflops or similar to go shopping, or for a walk, with little thought about sun damage. Yet feet do catch the sun. Like so many of you, I don’t always wear shoes or slippers at home either and tend to kick footwear off if I’m at the beach or walking on grass.
Our feet deserve better care. With regular moisturising, nail care and checking for wear and tear, we’d all benefit.
Cinderella obviously kept her tootsies in good condition; she wore glass slippers and won a prince! Just saying!

Going out in the sun is good for you. Our body creates most of our Vitamin D from the action of sun on our skin between the end of March and the end of September. We also get a small amount from oily fish, red meat and eggs. Vitamin D is essential for healthy bones.
To make enough vitamin D, you should spend a short time outdoors every day without suncream from March to September. In the summer months (June-August) you should have your face, hands, forearms and lower legs uncovered, and just hands and face exposed in the cooler months. This will give your body a supply of vitamin D to keep it going over the winter months. Because we do get some rain and can’t always get outside in the sun, it is often recommended to aim for 30 minutes, between 11am and 3pm, 3 times a week. Be careful not to burn though!
People with dark skin, such as those of African, AfricanCaribbean or Asian origin, will need longer in the sun to make as much vitamin D. Some people may need to take a supplement if they don’t spend enough time outdoors, if they are covered up when outside. It is also recommended for children under 4 and pregnant women. You can buy vitamin D supplements online or from a pharmacy, supermarket or health food shop. We recommend a maintenance dose of 400-800 units (1020 micrograms) per day for adults.
Staying safe in the sun
The sun gives out ultraviolet (UV) radiation, which is made up of UVA, UVB and UVC rays. The most serious harm the sun can cause is to increase your risk of getting skin cancer. UVB rays (the same ones that help you to generate vitamin D) can also damage the DNA in your skin cells. If this DNA damage builds up over time, cells can start growing out of control, which can lead to skin cancer. More than eight out of 10 cases of melanoma (the most serious type of skin cancer) are linked to overexposure to UV rays.
With the exception of short exposure to make vitamin
D, it is advised that you cover up or use sun protection, especially around the middle of the day when the sun is strongest. To stay safe:
1. Slip on some loose clothes with a tight weave to protect your skin from the sun and help keep you cool.
2. Slop on a good quality sunscreen: buy one with UVA protection, a 4 or 5 star rating and at least sun protection factor 30. Put it on 30 minutes before you go outside and reapply frequently. Don’t forget your lips!
3. Slap on a wide brimmed hat and sunglasses. UV radiation can cause cataracts.
4. Seek shade in the hottest part of the day.
5. Drink plenty of water – aim for at least 6-8 glasses or cups of fluid a day, more if you feel thirsty.
If in doubt, check it out
Most skin cancers can be cured if detected early. About once a month, check your skin for moles or marks that are changing or new. This is especially important if you are at increased risk of skin cancer. You can download the Miiskin app to monitor any changes, new bumps, moles or lesions on your skin. Tell your doctor about any changes to a mole or patch of skin, or a new mole or mark on adult skin.

Welcome to the latest edition of Senior Snippets: the monthly advisory column with the older members of our community in mind, brought to you by Christina Uppenkamp of Home Instead Dartford.
In this edition, we are going to look at some of the common myths surrounding the role of a Care Professional. We want to help people understand what caregiving entails and to encourage people to think about a career in care. According to Skills for Care, the strategic body for workforce development in adult social care in England, there are approximately 90,000 vacancies in the social care sector at any given time.
Here are the top 5 myths surrounding caregiving:
Myth 1: Caregiving consists only of routine tasks. Many people believe that Care Professionals only have about 15 minutes for each care visit and they mostly provide task based care such as help around the house, medication reminders and perhaps drive their client to the grocery store or pharmacy if they have time.
But Care Professionals do so much more than that! They provide a large amount of social and emotional support which can be as impactful on their client’s wellbeing as those performing physical activities. No two days are the same when you work in care.
Myth 2: Care workers are unskilled. Care Professionals are among some of the most skilled healthcare workers in the sector. Carers will always have opportunities to increase their skills or specialise in certain areas, and the sector is constantly changing and growing to meet the needs of the ageing population.
There are over 50 qualifications at different levels in social care, so it is important to speak to your employer about learning and developing new skills.
Myth 3: Being cared for in your home is only for the very ill.
Many elderly people want to live at home for as long as possible but might require a little bit of extra help around
the house. In these instances, non-medical home care, including personal care and companionship services, can be provided by professional Care Pros.
Non-medical home care often revolves around daily living activities, such as eating, dressing, and bathing and Care Professionals might also help with driving, shopping and doing housework. Companionship care is also vital to those living on their own as it helps prevent loneliness and isolation. Having a chat over a cup of tea and helping people get out and about is the type of quality time that elderly people most often need.
Myth 4: All caregiving services are the same. The saying “buyer beware” is very true when looking for the right home care company. Whether you are a family member, looking for care for a loved one, or you are looking for a job in the care sector, it is important to remember that not all care companies are the same.
There are many options in today’s market for seniors and their families, and it is recommended for anyone looking for care to do plenty of research and ask a lot of questions.
Myth 5: Most Care Professionals are middle-aged women.
Traditionally, this myth might be true, but in today’s society Care Professionals are a more diverse group than many people realise. Many Care Professionals are men, and additionally, many Care Professionals are of the millennial generation, between the ages of 18 and 30. Even children are providing care for loved ones. And not all Care Professionals are family members; these days, friends are increasingly likely to step in.
There are many more myths about the role of a Care Professional, but we hope that this article has helped shine a light on caregiving as a rewarding career where you can make a real difference to someone’s life.
I’d love to hear from you! To make a suggestion for a future Senior Snippets topic, please write to me at c.uppenkamp@dartford.homeinstead.co.uk or by post to Home Instead Dartford, St Fidelis House, St Fidelis Road, Erith, DA8 1AT.
The Becket Sport Centre was buzzing with energy on Saturday 12th July and it was great to see such a large turnout of parents and students at the Yamato Damashii karate grading, presentation and awards ceremony, which was attended by Deputy Mayor of Dartford, Cllr Avtar Sandhu MBE
It was a very warm day but all the students, both children and adults, performed well and passed their grading and received new belts and certificates.
Cllr Avtar Sandhu MBE said ”congratulations to all 60 plus students who received recognition for their achievements, regardless of belt level! It’s wonderful to see students being acknowledged for their hard work and dedication. I would like to thank all the hard work that is put in by the volunteers that run this great discipline”.
Yamato Damashii is a martial arts organisation that promotes discipline, respect, and self-improvement.
Yamato Damashii commented “we’d like to say thank you to all the people who helped out and also, thank all our students and parents for your continued support, we wouldn’t be here without you.

Our 2025 Maize Maze is now open, and a common question we get asked is how it is made!
Firstly, a maze theme is presented to us by Mazescape, our professional maze designer. The maze is uniquely designed to allow for different sizes of fields as well as where the entrances and exits need to be. The inclusion of a mini maze is designed for younger or less able visitors to enjoy the maze experience, without having to walk as far.
Once the design is agreed, Mazescape use special software to locate the maze design in the ‘real world’ before converting the design into the correct type of file for an agricultural contractor to use on their maize drill. This clever piece of machinery enables the contractor to drill (plant) the maize seeds exactly into the pattern of the maze design so that only the maize plants in the maze barriers grow and not in the pathways.
This is where agricultural contracting firm, FGS Agri come in! FGS Agri add a creative twist to their drilling capabilities by turning a maize field into a Maize Maze. At the heart of this is a Row drill, guided by GPS to deliver pinpoint planting which is vital for establishing the maze’s dense and structured design.
After the maize seeds get drilled in May, Mazescape begin designing fun games to be played in the mazes. These games give visitors focal points to find. They might be collecting clues, discovering interesting facts or just finding objects and characters. Games can be played by eye, with pencils, stickers or stamps and often includes an outcome which enables them to be entered into a prize draw at the end. Mazescape design
game cards for visitors to carry, game stations to find in the mazes as well as signs and graphics for our website and social media.
The Maize Maze covers a large area of 8.5 acres, which is the equivalent of approximately five standard football pitches, so it needs a good mix of sun and rain to get nice and tall! We have not had to irrigate (water) it very often in previous years, however, due to the very hot weather and lack of rain, we have needed to this year. Our farming team keep the maze free of weeds and check the paths, removing any errant plants. The finishing touches are the printing of the posters, signs, gamecards and maps by Darenth Print & Design, and the stickers which are printed by Sticker Gizmo.
Finally, our team work their way around the maze, banging the posts into the correct map positions and attaching the game stations to the posts, all in preparation for the grand opening! At the end of the season in mid-September, the Maize Maze is harvested and sold to a local farmer to chop up and use as cattle feed.
For further information, including opening times and prices, please visit the Maize Maze page of our website: www.stanhillfarm.co.uk.
A year ago i was speaking to a fellow triathlete and the idea of another full Ironman event was hatched this time in northern Spain in Vitoria Gasteiz in Basque Country.
At that point it seemed so far away but the event was booked and we started planning a road trip to save the hassle of getting bikes on a plane but little did I know the struggles I would have to even get to the start line this time.
From a crash on the bike in Sri Lanka causing broken ribs and a damaged shoulder in November to a constant back issue throughout the training it sometimes felt like it was not to be.
For those that don’t know an Ironman is:
- 3.9km open water swim
- 180km bike
- Marathon run
So the training was severely compromised and there were points when deferring was a possibility but as we moved from winter into Spring and the Triathlon season started it all started to kind of drop into place - I always enjoy races far more than training so that helped but slowly the run times improved and the swim distance got there, with the only blip being no 100 mile training rides.
And all along I reminded myself of the two charities I am supporting.
Holding on Letting Go who provide bereavement advice to children in Kent and SE London
The Openwork Partnership foundation who this year aim to provide grants of £1m to small local charities across the UK.
So eventually the road trip started with 3 nights in France at Il de Re for some light training and rest then
It’s said the hardest part of an Ironman is getting to the start line and this time that was certainly the case for me.
The race was hard with a choppy 2nd half of the swim making sighting difficult, hot sun on the ride which included 1200m of climbing and a torrential thunder storm at the beginning of the run and as always the demons arrive at different points especially during the marathon but we pushed through and eventually in 14 hours and 15 minutes it was done.
As I write this we are relaxing in Girona on an extended journey back home.
As always thanks to my wonderful wife Lynn who puts up with the intense training and the long race day supporting, thanks to Ian Martin who completed the training and race with me and was always there with advice in the dark days when the training wasn’t going great and of course to the great Dartford Triathlon, cycling, run and Parkrun community that cheered me on from afar.
You can still sponsor me using the QR code (right) as the causes I did this all for are so deserving.
