School Holidays

[Granny Mac]

The grandchildren will be here for the holidays very soon! Does anybody know about any fun activities/courses/clubs aimed at PS kids. They love the pool but it would help a lot if I knew of any alternatives.

Same problem here, (except it's not grandchildren ).
It's a long holiday. Perhaps we should start a club ?

I think there's a golf thing on for juniors at Machrihanish as well. Not sure of the dates yet. You could phone the clubhouse and ask.

I am going to update the www.visitkintyre.info site and have a TO DO section - just brief description linking to the website

The thing about Kintyre is it will always be an outside activity place. Plenty to do - just got to get out there and find it.

If anyone can help please post other things to do and website links.

Here are a couple to start
