Malvern Vintage Wear Campaign a Great Success

We had a very enthusiastic  response to our sale of Malvern Vintage Wear. The most popular items were the rugby shirt and the black and red striped scarf. The school still has a supply of scarves, so please contact us at redandblack@malverncollegiate.com if you want to order one. The price is $25 which includes $5 for postage. Cheques need to be made out to Malvern CI Girls' Phys. Ed. Mail with a note to us at the MRBS at 55 Malvern Avenue, Toronto M4E 3E4 or drop by the school and pick up one at the main office for $20 cash or cheque.

We will continue to take orders for the rugby shirts but they can be produced with the Malvern crest or logo only when we reach 12 orders. Please email us about this first and DO NOT SEND MONEY.
