Description Set in 1965 at the Newbury Dance Hall, and follows the adventures and misadventures of a group of people pursuing their desires and dreams within the conventions of the time…. Of all the dance venues in town, Newbury Hall, on Rangitikei Line, was 'the' place to be on a Saturday night, when it regularly attracted 600 or so people. Apparently, the chances of meeting 'someone' there was 'huge'.
