Calendar girls &ndash; who are creating a 2011 calendar for the charity &ndash; are to attend a Back to the 40s party at the Paget Rooms, Barry and District News reports.<\/p>\n<p>The event is being held to generate funds for the Help for Heroes cause, as well as raise awareness of local history.<\/p>\n<p>Ade Pitman, organiser of the get-together, said: &quot;Dances like this were hugely popular during the Second World War.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>Music for the celebration is to be provided by the CAVMS Youth Jazz Orchestra, with support from Dipsey Doodle.<\/p>\n<p>Calendar girl Shanni Phillips said the occasion will help the ladies get in the mood for nostalgia, as their shoot is inspired by the 1940s and 50s.<\/p>\n<p>The Foxyhunters calendar, which features sexy female horse riders, is also
