Golfn - A golf break for you and your children this October half-term.

The October half term is nearly upon us already and while you're probably sat bolt upright in a panic reading that sentence, wondering how the hell it's come round so quickly and what the hell you're going to do with the kids then do not fear, you are not alone. I'm thinking exactly the same thing too.

I mean, what to they do in schools today? I'd swear blind that today's youngsters get more time off than ever before, even the lunchtimes seem longer. I hate to sound like a Dickensian caricature. Hang on, scratch that. I intend to sound exactly like a Dickensian caricature. They can hardly cook upon leaving school, have the financial nous of the Bride of Wildenstein and top all that by lounging around for a further three years in "higher education". The only thing higher about their education is the level of debt the little twerps get you in. Where's the social value in that?

This, if you haven't already guessed, is a reactionary panic to the endless noise and moaning of half-term week that I'm set to endure and I have been rushing around wondering what I can do to help make the process a lot less painful, educational, fun and slightly quieter.

Luckily I had a phone call from a lovely Belgian fella called Boris Janjic, who may have the solution to my woes.

He runs a sports and language camp in the Biarritz region of France specifically aimed at brats, sorry kids, aged between 12 and 18 years. Boris is a member of te P.G.A of Belgium and had a fleeting experience on the professional European Tour winning at Omnium in 1995, and being a member of the Belgium team at the European Team Championships that year.

He has set up a sports camp that gives kids the opportunity to get involved in golf, learn or improve their languages and even take on a few of the more adventurous sporting activities, like surfing, on offer in the sunny climes of the South of France.

You can check out all the details on his website at http://www.golfn.be/ <link> or if you want to contact him for more details then do so at: By email: bobs@golfn.be or els@golfn.be By telephone: +32 479 255 247.

There's a host of activities to keep both adults and children occupied and for a very entertaining holiday. As an added incentive the golf courses that you get to sample are some of the finest in the region, including St Moliets and the Seignosse golf course that GolfPunk previously featured in our travel section last year.

The trip is avilable for €450 for the week and Boris has kindly included a short film clip to give you a taster of what your now stress free half-term could be like.
