Computers for Schools '93 
           ------------------------- 

The following is an extract from a letter to Headteachers 
from T P Leahy of Tesco Stores plc. 

  'Following the tremendous success of the "Computers for 
  Schools" initiative last year, Tesco has decided to run the 
  scheme again. 

  In 1992 schools nationwide received more than 13,000 items 
  of equipment, including over 3,000 computers, through the 
  scheme. 

  This year the promotion is even longer, running for twelve 
  weeks, which will enable your school to collect even more 
  vouchers, and so obtain more equipment than last year. 

  From Monday 1st March until Sunday 23rd May, Tesco customers 
  will receive one "Computer Voucher" for every #25 spent in 
  any Tesco store. These vouchers can be exchanged for 
  computers and software, when collected by individual 
  schools. 

  The range of computer hardware has been widened without 
  increasing the cost to schools in numbers of vouchers 
  required and, this year, includes selected special needs 
  equipment. Acorn is again the exclusive supplier for this 
  scheme. 

  Enclosed ...' 

Catalogues are being distributed to 12,000+ schools as I 
write. 

The general helpline for "Computers for Schools" is 
071 580 9370. Schools that want a pack, but haven't received 
one, by, say, the end of the week, should ring that number. 

Watch out for the Press and TV adverts beginning at the end 
of this month.
