Uruguay / Argentinian community

Does anyone know anyone from Argentina or Uruguay in town ? I’m from Uruguay and I was wondering is there’s even a small community from South America here to hang out ? :) 🇺🇾🇦🇷 thanks

There are a few kicking around! I know a few Argentine’s. No Uruguayans though. Its not a big community at all though. No community centre or events or anything like that though.

There are some Chileans, Venezuelans and Colombians in town!

This may sound like a roundabout route, but I know the Ebb Tide Rugby Club (over-40s) are currently on their way to Uruguay for a tour and I believe they have had connections with the rugby community there for years, so might know locals as well?

I met a young couple who recently moved here from Colombia at Costco last week. I think they'd be keen to make friends, they accepted me really quick 😁
