Night-time entertainment-related material. Of note particularly personally is the 'Bouncing on the Boards in the King's Hall' badge in the bottom left-hand corner, the King's Hall being where I saw The Syd Lawrence Orchestra on 7th March 1973, getting a free ticket as a relative as the lead trombonist of the SLO was my then uncle, Frank Dixon. The 'Boards' in question would have been those placed over the swimming bath of Queen Street Baths to convert the venue into a concert and events hall.
