Tesco Sports Vouchers

[daineal]

Hi,
I know it's not gardening related but thought I'd ask anyway.
My daughters school is collecting the Tesco Sports for Schools vouchers & I wondered whether anyone would collect them for us too. Not everyone has school age children so a lot of these go to waste as they are not collected when you do your shopping. We'd be happy to send an SAE so it wouldn't cost anything for you to send them on to us. Also, it'd mean Tesco would be relieved of more than usual & it'd help the school too.
If you'd like to help please PM me with your details & I'll send you an SAE.

Kind Regards,
Tracey

Hi Tracey, we've not been collecting them as we don't know any school children so have only taken the when someone behind us in the queue has wanted them. Went in last night & got a few for you, will PM you when we have some more, I think it goes on for about another 4 weeks or so.

Tracey, brilliant idea, i normally don't get them because I don't know anybody who would use them.

Will try to get some for you. Anything that relieves tesco's of money is a good thing.

Hi SueA & seasprout,
Every time I've been in to Tesco's there's been someone I've overheard saying they don't want the vouchers. It's a shame really as there's bound to be a school in their area who'd make great use of them. And it get's Tesco to cough up a bit more too. Couldn't believe the news the other day about how much the supermarkets had overcharged on milk over the last few years. Knew they were price fixing as they do it on everything they sell but really, they could pass some money back to the poor farmers; no wonder so many of them sell up.
Anyway, we're very grateful for any help we can get so please PM me with your details & I'll send you out an SAE.

Just wanted to say thanks to anyone who took the time to send me their Tesco vouchers.They'll be much appreciated at my daughters school. Should anyone have any spare that they'd like to pass on, please PM me your address & I'll send you an SAE.

from the Daily Mail - "It seems a generous offer for parents - shop at Tesco and receive vouchers to buy much-needed sports equipment for your children's school. ...a £3,000 zinc and steel trampoline ...would be a worthy addition to any sports hall. However, there is one problem. Parents, teachers and pupils would have to spend almost £1million before their school could receive one."

I appreciate that the vouchers are "free" though, and really add up if you can collate additional unused ones. I always save mine for my local school.

Hi Tracey, I'm putting the vouchers in the post today so you should get them by the end of the week, was hanging on until the weekend as it finished on Sunday & O.H got the last one yesterday when he bought the papers. Hope they help.

Would willingly send you some, however hate Tescos (even more than I dislike all the other supermarkets, and that's saying something!) so don't shop there! Sorry!!!!
