The Argentine Amateur Championship was well underway at La Aguada Polo Club, with wins for Lista Blanca, Miralejos and Esmowing on Thursday 22 April, however the 24 goal tournament has now been postponed ahead of the Finals (due to be played on Sunday 25 April) due to bad weather and also under the recommendation of the Argentine Polo Association regarding the second wave of Covid-19 in Argentina. The club’s exciting post-21 June private ‘Unlock-Down’ events will run during the summer for private groups and companies wanting to meet for the first time in a safe space and enjoy a Polo Experience and an Argentinian asado and all the wonderful dishes that the famous Arturo has to offer. Arturo loves his food and loves creating fabulous dishes for his guests. From the perfect cappuccino or fresh fruit salad to his Milanese or goat cheese and balsamic wrap, there is something for everyone. Plus, his delicious asado, cooked in the Club’s charcoal oven, it’s not to be missed!

Offered as an ‘Unlock-Down event in a box’ post-21 June for 50 – 100 people with safe separate covered outdoor eating and seating areas bookings are via Roy (roymoed@mac.com)
