Ranches Ladies Newsletter

Good Morning Ranches Ladies. February is here already!

Hope you have a great week.

 Asado Sunset Brunch at Dubai Polo Club

Last weekend some members were invited to experience the launch of the Asado Sunset Brunch at the Dubai Polo Club.

Asado is the name for traditional a Argentinian barbeque. The event featured a delectable spread of gourmet dishes and the ambiance at the Polo Club provided the perfect backdrop for us to enjoy a leisurely Saturday afternoon, a blend of sophistication with a relaxed atmosphere. The sound of clinking glasses and cheerful conversations filled the air as guests enjoyed a leisurely meal, complemented by the lush greenery and the beautiful sunset.

The Asado Sunset Brunch is every Saturday 5pm to 8pm at the Dubai Polo & Equestrian Club, next to Studio City, and is highly recommended.

Tuesday Mornings

There was a great turnout at our Ranches Ladies coffee morning on Tuesday 30th January in Larte, Studio One Hotel, with 30 ladies mingling together. Randa Kazem also brought along a small display of her decoupage work to show us.

Decoupage is our newest Ranches Ladies Circle on offer (see more details below).

Join us for tea or coffee and a chat on Tuesday mornings at Larte, Studio One Hotel in Studio City.
