Society 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.

Like the other regional OR Societies, only better ...and with better cocktails. Every spring we hold an after-work drinks in Manchester's vibrant city centre. Its is very informal and open to all – It is attended by ORs and their significant other, parents of ORs, parents of current and potential students, staff and past staff. We pride ourselves on being open and inclusive having high attendance from all generations especially the younger ORs. We always have fun.
We would love to see you at an event, even if you just happen to be passing through the region. If you are interested in joining us at the future annual events, or indeed wish to help in organising we would love to hear from you.

The Old Reptonian Golfing Society celebrated our centenary in 2024. We have over 200 active members and play in over 25 different fixtures each year. We have the privilege to play on some of the country’s finest courses. 
 
We are open to all handicaps and offer significant subsidies for our younger golfers under the age of 35. For example,  if you are under 25, you can play 2 rounds of golf on some of the best courses in the country, have a bacon butty on arrival and lunch all for £50, which we hope you agree represents very good value.
 
We enter several prestigious competitions each year including the Halford Hewitt, Grafton Morrish, Queen Elizabeth Coronation Salvers Trophy, The Bernard Darwin Trophy and the Silver Tassie competition. The Silver Tassie is exclusively for our lady members. 
 
If you would like to join us please go to ORGS Member-details or contact Paul Brownhill if you would like further information.

We look forward to seeing you on a golf course soon.
