This June is the Caravan Club’s 105th birthday and to mark the occasion a star-studded summer ball is being thrown.

Strictly Come Dancing stars James and Ola Jordan are on the guest list for the event and will be showing off their moves on the dance floor of the Grosvenor House Hotel in London.

This year, the event will be in aid of the Leukaemia Lymphoma Research, and the charity’s president Sir Ian Botham will be on hand to host an auction that will help raise funds for the organisation’s sterling work.

Along with these celebrity appearances, the Club have arranged a night of spectacular performances in the vein of Last Night of the Proms.

Silks Aerial Ballet will put on a stunning show and the British Military Band are also set to appear, before the group Mixed Feelings turn up the volume for an evening’s dancing.

Grenville Chamberlain, the Caravan Club’s chairman, said that although the evening will be a wonderful celebration of the Club and caravanning, it also has a serious purpose.

“The Club and I would like to take the opportunity to raise money for a very deserving chosen charity, Leukaemia and Lymphoma Research, whose mission statement is ‘Beating Blood Cancer’,” he said.
