Hokianga harbour area; locals decorate the Horeke Hall with a fisherman’s theme; men and women complete and try their costumes on in preparation for the evening. Community spirit rules during preparations for the evening’s get together. One woman soaks and washes her hair in a bubble bath; another is busy baking; this is followed by scenes of dancers on the floor having a ball. Brief shots of the supper being prepared.
