The club’s history dates back to 1996, when its first meeting took place at Horsham Masonic Hall.
Club president Wayne Lang said the group invited its members, past and present, to join in a night of dancing and celebrations at Horsham Table Tennis Association’s headquarters in Harriett Street.
“We are keeping that ’50s and ’60s era going – that’s what we’re all about in the rock ’n’ roll clubs,” he said.
“The music of the era, such as The Beatles and The Shadows’ instrumental music was top stuff – you can’t beat it.”
Mr Lang encouraged people who were interested in trying the dancing style to contact the club. “If any beginners want to take up rock ’n’ roll, we are only too willing to help them out and teach the basics,” he said.
“Rock ’n’ roll is what you make it.
“We certainly enjoy it and might only be a small club, but we’re a strong club.
“It’s a good exercise and keeps us pretty fit.”
