2023 OR Lancashire & Cheshire Branch Reinvigoration

You will have noticed the Yorkshire Branch of the OR Society reinvigorating itself with well-attended events and an increasing network of ORs. Not wishing to be outdone by our very good friends on the “wrong side” of the Pennines we too are reinvigorating the Lancashire & Cheshire Branch of the OR Society.

Step 1: We are starting with a Drinks in Your City, which will be in Manchester on Thursday 20th April 2023 at The Alchemist (1 New York Street, Manchester M1 4HD) from 6.00 pm.

All ‘Friends of Repton’ are welcome for informal drinks after work. This means ORs, Parents of ORs, Parents of current pupils, ORs living in the North or just visiting. There may even be transport organised from Repton for those who wish (specific details to follow).

Step 2: We are going to build a series of events focused on different interests. Ideas so far include events connected with the Northern Powerhouse and Lancashire Cricket Club. The elder OR population have been great supporters over the years, but we would like to make a real shift to make sure our younger ORs and female ORs are also actively engaged with the OR Society.

We would love to hear from you any ideas you may have of what you would like to do. We have a couple of OR Ambassadors already and are looking for more if you would like to help.
