Made me laugh :D

Could be quite a good idea tbh

There are many shots work well in b&w ...portraits, architecture, still life..............

To be perhaps a" little different from the rest", maybe try a sunrise / sunset. I know it's all been done before and many people believe that a scene like that simply doesn't work in b&w ...that is why it may stand out for you if you do it!
 
Reflections.
There's plenty water about.
 
GIven all the rain, why not try for a rainbow? (Not an original, I'm afraid - it has been done; but it points up the idea of using black and white for a subject that would normally not even be considered nowadays.)

Alternatively, flowers. I found that selective processing in Photoshop (is that allowed in your club?) to produce a rose bush with dark leaves and white roses - except for one black rose - effective.

did you know that zebras are the 1st animals tobe bar coded....
 
Nerd alert...zebra actually have brown and white stripes so don't exactly fulfil the brief.
If the sun makes an appearance then "shadows" makes a good theme for B&W work.

High contrast images when the suns out late in the day raking shadows, took a good pic recently that was lit from the front and from behind (sun reflection) which produced a surprisingly natural high contrast image.
