Produktbeschreibung

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Old Georgian Club is a sports club located in Palermo, Buenos Aires. Founded in 1908 by alumni of St. George's College, Quilmes, the club sees itself as a pillar of Buenos Aires' british community.Originally a rugby union club, today only cricket is played competitively at the institution. Other sports practiced at the club, at a social level, are golf, tennis and sailing. The rugby team was quite successful, winning the Unión de Rugby de Buenos Aires championship in 1937, 38 and 39. However, by the 1970s it became increasingly difficult to find enough players to field competitve teams, although the club was able to tour Kenya in 1973, playing against several teams including Scorpions RFC. By 1978 the practice of rugby had to be abandoned. Efforts were made in 1995 to resume playing but this revival was short-lived and ended in 1997.
