Elite 11+ The Olympic GOLD Jibber Jabber Squad

okay....I found my first ever 1p item :-)
Went to look for a measuring tape and thought "this power force 5m tape will do nicely".
Used the scanner to check the price and it beepd back with a 0.01 figure :-)
The colour of the measuring tape is yellow and the last four digits of the BC is 6274

I'm chairman of a local dads group. For the latest round of fundraising we did some very simple things than earnt us over £150 in a morning that was washed out too.

1. A box filled with sand with 100 straws in it. 1 was painted gold on the end (the star prize, a bottle of bubbly), 3 were silver (a box of chocs) and 10 were green (a small prize). Each straw was 50p of 3 for £1.
2. Jam jar suprise. We filled old jars with sweets for children. Each jar cost £1 and 1 lucky jar had £5 in it if you could find it).
3. Tombola. Prizes we used were things that got children to ask their parents. Ben 10 stuff, all stuff from Home & Bargains, toys, small sweets, mugs, flags, clappers, a bottle of wine, etc.
4. By far the biggest earner was our stocks. Our treasurer is a carpenter and made some stocks. Yellow car spunges at ASDA are 33p (cut them in half) and buckets £1 (we used two). It was 5 sponges at me for £1:eek: (wet of course) or 5 at your dad/mum for £1 and you won a sweet or bag of chrisps. The local hospice saw how good this went down so have asked to borrow the stocks.

Hope these ideas help. :A

Oh, we also sold strawberry plants and herb plants too.

Love some of these relatively simple ideas. I've got a few fundraisers coming up and gonna pinch some of them, if you don't mind:D:D:D

Don't think so. Think it is a similar problem to people not being able to quote.

Just took me ages to get page to open kept saying page not found

Biggest fundraiser at ours is always the chocolate tombola, it really does make the most money.
We took £1328 at our summer fete this year, lots of local companies are often willing to provide bouncy castles, pony rides etc and we take a cut, works out more cost effective than hiring in.
