pins 2,3,4 and 5 are positive connections, to return to 6,7 and 8, i would presume. 1 is earth.

for example, a par can or whatever on channel 1 would be connected to pins 2 and 6.

So basicley if i was to connect a light to pin 2 the positive (Brown wire) would connect to it and the negitive (blue) to pin 7 or 8

Yup you got it, also put a link across pins 7 & 8 (if you are wiring a chassis socket) if it's a plug then 7 or 8 all your negatives will connect to those pins, the center pin is your earth.
so if your wiring a 4 channel light box you would need 6 core cable, lets say
the 6 cores are numbered 1-6
core 1-4 would be your (positives
5 would be your (negative)
6 would be your (earth)
if you are using coloured cables just remember which colour you have put on which pin.
have fun
