USED BLAZER AND UNIFORM SALE

USED BLAZER AND UNIFORM SALE

Tuesday 9th June 2015 6.30pm – 7.30pm in school

How does it work?

You donate, we sell! With blazers, you can keep the proceeds or donate them for school funds. Proceeds from all other uniform items go to the school – a great bargain for buyers either way. Larger blazers are particularly helpful.

How do I donate?

Blazers / uniform should be

  • handed into the school office by lunchtime on the sale day
  • in good condition.

 

Blazers: please put a note with your donation to confirm sex / approximate size. If you want to keep the sale proceeds, you must also fill in our form for EACH blazer you donate and put it in the front pocket. The school office has copies or you can print a copy from here blazer form for sales 2015Please also put each blazer in a separate bag. IF YOU HAND IN A BLAZER WITHOUT A FORM WE WILL ASSUME IT HAS BEEN DONATED FOR SCHOOL FUNDS.

What will things cost?

Most blazers sold for £10-£20 last year depending on condition. Clothing depended on quality and condition but was still a fraction of the usual cost – most items were £1 each. Items in less good condition may be given away on the night. Leftover items will be kept for the next sale (if in v good condition) or donated for charity recycling. Thanks for your support!
