Every school, every club needs great ideas to supplement the sausage sizzles and annual trivia nights. But what to do? How to inject a little fun, 'newness' and excitement - and how to make the most for the least effort!

How about the school yard car wash? Simple, fun (for most) and you can involve the kids in the work - which teaches the value of a dollar earned. You can earn decent money per wash, the cost inputs are minimal and a swarm of kids makes light work of it.

Support your team and promote the club at the same time. Handbands Key Chains are a cool way to stay organised in your purse or pocket. The different colours are ideal for club branding and you can even organise printing if your quantities are big enough.

Sometimes the simplest ideas are the best. Ask everyone in the club to donate an hour's salary. That's it - no massive organisational headache, just the marketing flyers that promote the idea. Come up with a catchy name and let  logic do the rest (it's only an hour's salary after all!)

Go 'catch of the day'. A big club-wide fishing competition is a brilliant way to organise a large group into a formidable donation/revenue raising team. It bonds everyone together, is a fantastic day for friends and families and can raise significant money.
