Summary
Small printed postcard-sized card.
It is an invitation sent by television station GTV Channel 9 to a boy, who was a member of the Tarax Happy Club, inviting him to be an audience member of a nominated broadcast of the show. The card has not been completed by the recipient.
Produced at the station's studios in Richmond, the program first went to air in January 1957, only two days after Channel 9 commenced broadcasting in Melbourne. It ran until 1961, after Happy Hammond moved to HSV Channel 7, when it was renamed `The Tarax Show'.
