NOW CLOSED Do you have a child of school age? Want to try out Matalan school uniform and be in with a chance of winning a high street voucher?

[NewGirlHelenMumsnet]

Matalan is looking for 50 MNers to try out their school uniform with their child and give their feedback on MN. Here's what Matalan says about their uniform: "At Matalan we pride ourselves on our back to school offer - all of the products are created and designed by our in house design team and we have worked with mums to create a range that is not only suitable but fit for the rigors of school life. We've put in a lot of effort to make it hard-wearing, comfortable and easy to wash and iron and want to put it to the test on your child."

Testers will be sent a £25 Matalan voucher to take to their nearest Matalan store to choose your uniform items (if you're not sure where your nearest one is, please use this store finder) - £25 will allow you to buy plenty of school uniform items. Please note that if you have more than one child of school age, you will need to choose one and just buy school uniform for them. The vouchers will only be redeemable against school uniform.

Testers will then be asked to give feedback on MN twice - once when you've just bought your items and again when you and your child have put the uniform through its paces by washing and wearing it. If you're selected to take part, you'll be sent the vouchers w/c 22 Aug. You will then need to go and buy your uniform and add your first lot of feedback w/c 12 Sept once your child has had a chance to wear it at school. We'll then ask for your second lot of feedback in early-mid October when you've had a while to put the uniform to the test.

Everyone who is selected for the test and then adds two lots of feedback on MN will be entered into a prize draw where one winner will receive a £250 high street voucher and 2 runners up will win a £50 high street voucher each.

If you're interested in taking part, please click here to add your details.

Thanks and good luck - we'll be in touch with selected testers by Monday 22 Aug.

Cool, I do hope that we get through as I love testing clothes out and my DS will be very hard wearing on their stuff, I can tell ya!

[gorionine]

Done, sorry I think I might have done it twice as unsure to have actualy pressed on "complete survey" the first time

[NewGirlHelenMumsnet]

Don't worry gorionine - it only lets you do it once - we've definitely got your application!

[Forgottensomething]

Done I'd be interested in this as ds only just started (Scotland) and I bought all m$s as most of the supermarkety stuff sported cheap quality and I can't afford to be replacing all the. For what they charge would be interested to see if matalan stuff is as good quality or poorer quality cheapy stuff as it's not really a shop I considered buying from as it's not in your face with advertising or on the high street iyswim. I'd defiantly buy more there in future for both kiddies if the qualitys good!

[PippiLongBottom]

Done.
