Well this has certainly taken me on a nostalgia trip to the late 60's & early 70's, I wonder if anyone else remembers or was a member of the MerryTimes Club?
It was run by one of the national newspapers, I can't remember which and it would seem too obvious to think it was The Times.
I vividly remembered the little pixie illustration on the toadstool and it's probably why I kept this as I was very into pixies & fairies.
As a member you had a small enamel badge & you would receive this same little blue & yellow postcard every year when it was your birthday, sent to you by Uncle MerryTimes. (see reverse of card below).
What a shame times have changed so much and things like this have died a death. Not that kids would be interested these days but it was a real treat for us when our MerryTimes card dropped through the letterbox.
By an amazing stroke of luck, I also found the little enamel badge in one of my boxes of badges, both card & badge are now safely reunited as a lovely keepsake.
