The OR Summer Ball

Celebrating 50 years of women at Repton

On Saturday 7th May we were finally able to host the much anticipated OR Summer Ball. The sun shone as we enjoyed drinks in the Palm Court Atrium and adjoining gardens before sitting down for a three-course meal.

A warm welcome from Daisy Heath-Abbott (G’06) was followed by wise words from Carole Blackshaw (A’70), one of the first girls to attend Repton. Anna Parish, former Housemistress of The Mitre concluded the speeches with a snapshot of life at Repton now and a trip down memory lane which was welcomed by all.

It was a delight to see so many ORs and Friends of Repton turn out for the event, with over 80% of guests under the age of 30. We hope that you enjoyed the celebrations as much as we did.

Thank you to all involved in organising this event; a special mention to Daisy who presented the idea for the Ball, and what a great idea it was!
