Fill-a-can

Outline: Give each participant (tower, or person, or household, or...) a full can of drink - beer, coke, tonic or whatever seems appropriate.

Stick a label onto the base asking them to enjoy the contents, then wash out the can and use it as a money collecting tin, to be returned to you when full again. Of course this must be kept within the household or belfry, - not waved around on street corners!

A normal size drink-can can hold as much as £90 or so depending on generosity of collectors and type of coins put in. (There is no rule against enlarging the hole to take £1 pieces!)

Keep a note of who has cans so you can 'call them in' after a suitable time even if not full.

Income & Expenditure: 20 x £90 = £1800, minus cost of cans £20 - should be a good earner.

With thanks to Pam Copson for this idea.
