FUTHER to all the recent debate about the charity canopy stall on Newport Street being demolished and the effect in fundraising for charities I would like to give you a bit of a more positive aspect on the subject.

Our charity, `Daytrippers (Bolton)` has used the canopy stall on Newport Street many times and had a successful day but on Thursday, November 27 was our first experience of the new relocation to one of the units at Bolton Market.

All we can say is that it was a great day for us from start to finish...all the staff at Bolton Market were very helpful especially the lads who helped set up the stall and really made sure we had everything we needed, we had plenty of space to display all our goods and had plenty of customers as well which resulted in a fantastic amount of £303 being raised. We really would like to get the point across that although it was sad to see the demise of the charity canopy its not all negative news and we found the day was a great success.
