The Anglo Argentine Society

The love of a good father figure is always with us, whether we are in Argentina or the UK, whether we are together or apart, and it is a love we will cherish for life.

From all of us at the Anglo-Argentine Society, Happy Father’s Day to all!

Every 20th of June Argentina celebrates the life and work of Manuel Belgrano, a leader, a military man, politician, and the creator of our National Flag.

Today we honour his memory and embrace his legacy.
¡Feliz Día de la Bandera!

The Anglo-Argentine Society’s book club in Spanish, Leyendo Argentina will discuss Rafael Pinedo’s “Plop”, on zoom on June 23 at 6:30pm.

Leyendo Argentina made 10 years on May 16, and read more than 100 books of Argentine contemporary literature, under the coordination of founder Alicia Alborja and coordination by Paula Fiorini.

Congratulations to all participants and many, many thanks to Alicia and Paula for their passion and commitment.

You are welcome to join the AAS to enjoy this benefit.
