Former St Bees’ girls return to Lake District for Great North Swim challenge
Three of the first girls to go to St Bees School got together for a reunion with a difference in June.
Anya Robson (G 81-83) and Sam Robson (G 79-81) along with Yvonne Reay (G 79-85), linked hands to swim a combined total of five miles across Lake Windermere as part of the Great North Swim event on 15 June, to raise money for charity.

	The three were on Grindal House together and have kept in touch ever since, despite living in York, London and France respectively. Two years ago they attended the St Bees School reunion in Manchester.

Also swimming was former St Bees’ teacher Charm Robson (Anya and Sam’s mum). Yvonne said: “We decided to do it last year when we got together in the South of France at Anya’s home. It seemed like a good idea at the time!”
