Postage is extra.
.
For sale is a scarce vintage button pin badge issued by the Rank Organistion (cinema & film distribution) in association with the Children's Film Foundation (CFF). The text on this badge reads I GO TO THE SUPER SATURDAY SHOW and promoted attendance to the children's Saturday morning matinee films at local ABC cinemas. Super Saturday Show matinee tickets cost 6d (6 pence) each.
The SUPER SATURDAY CLUB was run by The Rank Organisation and was established in the early 1950's. With rising competition from television, the Super Saturday Club was closed in 1981.
The CFF was established in 1951 and was funded by a subsidy from the receipts of general cinema ticket sales. With this money, the CFF produced many British children's films exclusively for the Saturday matinees, but were wound-up in 1988 after the subsidy ended.
