OLD REPTONIAN SOCIETY
SOCIETY BRANCHES
The many clubs and branches that form The Old Reptonian Society reflect the varied and vibrant life that our community experiences as part of a Repton education. They offer ORs the opportunity to enjoy social gatherings, stay in touch, network and in some cases embark on new endeavours within the welcoming and familiar Repton community. As we move forward, we are looking to increase awareness of the many opportunities available to get involved with the OR Society.
If you are interested in setting up a new branch of The OR Society, please contact The OR Office.
OUR OR BRANCHES
The Old Reptonian Football Club was formed in 1902 in an attempt to gather players together for training sessions. Competing in both the Arthurian League in London and the prestigious Arthur Dunn Cup, the team have been very successful since the branch’s inception, winning the Arthur Dunn Cup fourteen times and the Premier Division title twice. The club achieved the impressive league and cup double in 2023/24. To stay up to date with the club’s fixtures and results, follow their Twitter account (@oldreptonianfc) and Instagram (@old_reptonianfc). If you’d like to play for the club or be added to the mailing list to read the match reports then please email Nicky Samra. They are always looking for new players and can promise a great time both on and off the pitch. |
The game of Fives at Repton has been played for at least 175 years and in 1924, it was unanimously decided to form an OR Eton Fives Club, to be affiliated with the Eton Fives Association. Fast forward to today and the recent restoration of the 12 Fives Courts at Repton has created an outstanding facility which will enable Fives to flourish once more at Repton. The creation of a club for Old Reptonians, amongst whom enthusiasm for the game has remained strong, will see opportunities for all generations within the Repton family to enjoy these facilities, widen participation through regional and national tournaments, and help to secure the long-term future of this marvellous game. To find out more information about the OREFC, please contact Repton’s Master in Charge of Fives and OR, David Exley. |

We are part of one of the oldest secular social and charitable organisations in the world, modern Freemasonry’s roots lie in the traditions of the medieval stonemasons who built our castles and cathedrals. Our four aims are simple: To build a caring society through INTEGRITY Formed in 1914 at Café Monico, Shaftesbury Avenue, London, we are one of the oldest OR Societies. We welcome men over the age of 18, regardless of race, religion or wealth who have had a connection to the school. This includes former pupils, staff, governors and parents. For the OR Girls there are also lots of options for joining Freemasonry and our lodge actively promotes a strong relationship with the Order of Women Freemasons. Freemasonry means different things to each of us. For some, it’s about making new friends and catching up with old acquaintances. For others it’s about being able to help deserving causes and make a contribution to society. But for most, it is an enjoyable hobby. We meet three times a year and hold various open social events in London and Repton. For more information contact Jim Morrison (O91) jimmorrisonsemail@gmail.com |
