Membership

Who can join?

Founded in 1948, the role of the Anglo-Argentine Society has always been to strengthen relations and promote cultural and social events between the United Kingdom and Argentina. By organising a diversity of vibrant and enriching activities both in person and online, together we reinforce the bond between the people of these two nations and raise money for selected charities and causes in the process.

By taking out membership, you instantly become an integral part of a wide network of likeminded people who share experiences, memories, knowledge and ideas as part of a progressive and energetic philosophy. As well as people with Argentinian heritage, we also welcome anyone with an interest in or love for Argentina, making the Anglo-Argentine Society a truly inclusive community.

Why become a member

There are multiple benefits that come with membership of the Anglo-Argentine Society. From the moment you join, you gain access to the following opportunities:

Social networking

Our members come from all walks of life and share a commitment to celebrating the fascinating culture of Argentina. Over the decades, many members have formed strong friendships as well as artistic collaborations and business partnerships.

Cultural celebrations

Argentinian traditions, art, literature, music, dance and ways of life are at the heart of our Society. Many types of events are organised throughout the year, taking the form of lectures, concerts, literary talks, tango sessions and much more. All of these events are exclusive to our members and take place both in person and online, making it very easy to get involved.

Annual events

As well as our programme of engaging activities, we also organise larger events each year that are admired for their magnificence, vitality and welcoming spirit. These include the Gran Asado Argentino, the Ambassador’s Gala Dinner, the Society Christmas Party, and our popular series of Borges Lectures, initiated by writer Jorge Luis Borges himself in 1983.

External events

The Anglo-Argentine Society partners with the Argentine Embassy in the UK, and fellow organisations such as the Oxford Argentine Cultural Forum, the British Spanish Society, the Canning Club (formerly known as the Argentine Club), offering access to events like polo matches, concerts and conferences.

Leyendo Argentina

Avid bookworms and anyone interested in exploring Contemporary Argentine Literature in Spanish from 1983 onwards will love our book club, which includes open, friendly and insightful discussion around each chosen publication.

Fundraising

As a member, you have the opportunity to help us fundraise for Argentinian charities and causes. The level of involvement can be shaped around your work-life balance, ensuring that your charitable activity never becomes too difficult to fit into your schedule.

Discounts

During special occasions, we work with our sponsors to offer our members a range of discounts and promotions on everything from products and services to concerts and events.

Newsletters

Designed to keep you informed, inspired and entertained, our newsletters will bring you up to speed with everything taking place within our Society, as well as the latest developments in the broader Argentine-British community.
