What does being a ‘Kids’ Board member’ mean?
If you are chosen as a member of the Kids’ Board, you’ll be invited to attend a Board Meeting at Tesco’s head office on Thursday 14th July to tell us, on behalf of schools and clubs nationwide, what you would like to see from the Schools & Clubs programme next year.
And, with the other five members of the Board, you will have the exciting opportunity to help us make decisions about the future of the programme, including:
- help rate and review brand new products that have never been seen before
- help choose equipment for the 2012 catalogue
- meeting the people who develop some of the equipment in the catalogue
- tell us what you would like to see from the Schools & Clubs programme
You will also be given the opportunity to put forward a series of questions from your class mates for the Kids’ Board Chairperson to answer.
But that’s not all! You will also travel to Tesco’s HQ with your parents and stay in a hotel overnight before attending the Board Meeting. You will also win 10,000 Tesco for Schools & Clubs vouchers for your school or club, as well as a cool laptop and digital camera.
If you are not chosen for the Board, but are one of our six runners up, you will receive 1,000 Tesco for Schools & Clubs vouchers for your school or club and a digital camera.
