On a beige background, with curly decorative edges in each corner, sit a row of three images: the first shows the Orton and Spooner families in a Victorian photograph; the second shows part of a grand Orton and Spooner fairground ride and the third is the cover of Labour of Love the book about Orton & Spooner by Elaine Pritchard. The words 'Labour of Love' are in red type at the top of the image. Above the three pictures it says 'The story of Burton's fantastic fairground and cinema entrepreneurs George Orton and Charles Spooner'. Below the images it says 'A talk by local author Elaine Pritchard'.
