With Deep Sadness
It is with the most profound sadness that we write this message to advise anyone in the Spice Social community of the passing earlier this week of Dianne Repsch (nee Livingstone).
Dianne was formerly the coordinator of our London group, and anyone that had the privilege of being touched by her will know her for everything that she was – a veritable dynamo, super positive and a very caring person indeed. Dianne was, and will always remain, a huge part of the Spice Social story and her spirit and overall enthusiasm for life carried over into her retirement, where, after moving back to Scotland to be nearer her family, she became a key member of her local community and a keen and active fundraiser and trustee for many charities that were close to her heart. As part of this she also organised many charitable events drawing, no doubt, on decades of Spice experience.
Dianne passed away whilst in New Zealand on a Spice Escapes holiday doing what we believe she loved – travelling the world and embracing life’s adventures.
It has been a huge shock for everyone as she was apparently fit, healthy and vibrant. This has come quite out of the blue. Her final evening was spent helping a nervous fellow traveller and new friend negotiate a cable car up to a restaurant where everyone had a wonderful evening full of love and laughter – how very Dianne!
We are writing this with the consent of Dianne’s husband who is understandably devastated by this tragic turn of events, and we would ask for every respect to be given to his privacy while he begins to come to terms with everything that has happened.

What Our Members Say
Great social club and a great way to meet new friends. I’ve been a member for several years and have participated in so many events, including theatre nights, meals, walks, feeding a tiger by hand, sailing, quizzes, learning to drive on a skidpan, art gallery, museum exhibitions, parties, weekends away and holidays! The range of online events during lockdown and the covid-19 pandemic has been impressive too. It originally took me a while to pluck up the courage to join, as I didn’t know anyone, but I’m so glad I did!
I just had the most amazing holiday in Cuba with Spice Escapes and Pam Harte, a wonderful host. The great people I met along the way added to the culture, history, architecture, sun, fun and rum! I can recommend this trip to you all – it was truly amazing; thank you!
Definitely one of the best things I’ve ever done. I knew I’d love Cuba but it was extra special with so many new friends!
Thanks again, Pam for the New Year event. I had a great time
The NYE party this year was great fun and good value for money. Spice events are always friendly and fun. The food and music were great at the Village Hotel in Elstree.
We really enjoyed the weekend, people, tribute, disco, rooms and food on NYE, price and free parking was great. Bar food choices for lunch were a bit heavy/large, would have preferred something lighter, perhaps just a choice of sandwiches, but we would certainly go again.
A great party with a lovely overnight stay and a visit to the London New Year’s Day Parade the next day. Very well organised and a lovely group of people. A brilliant way to see in the new year!
The ABBA Voyage event was fantastic, really well organised, loved meeting up before the concert, great venue for the lunch and really nice to meet the group, the concert itself was amazing, love the dancing and singing anyone who likes ABBA’s music this is a must.
I have been a member of Spice London for 14 years now and regularly attend events with them. However, it never ceases to amaze me with the selection and variety of events they put on. Yesterday we went to the phenomenal ABBA Voyage concert in London. It was amazing and before the event, we went for lunch in a great pub and then after to a bar by the ABBA venue where the ABBA vibe continued. I had a great time with a great bunch of people can’t wait for the next event. Well done Pam for organising
