Jenny Baker writes - It was a nightclub in the early seventies with live bands ticket money also paid for a mandatory meal of spaghetti bologna use or I think it was chicken schnitzel

Anne Sutcliffe writes - Geoff and I went many times. Great place, great bands, sherbet, kush, hush, Africa, trogs, just to name a few, food was good, jugs of beer, plenty of booze and dancing. So many friends made there.

Maureen Snelson writes - Norma Pretty sold the tickets. Mr Bentley and Charlie the Chuckout were the ushers. Saturday afternoons when I was a kid and Saturday nights dating in the circle with my love.

Sue-Wayne May writes - As I lived in New Lambton for most of my younger years I went there every Saturday afternoon for the movies. Mum and Dad took us there of a Saturday night. I remember mum always said to buy a ticket for the upstairs as “the riff raff” only went down stairs. This was during the early 1960’s.
