WHAT a coup for the town.
We welcome the news that Bolton has been chosen, beating off competition from London and Norwich, to host the Lions Club International Convention.
It is predicted that the convention at the Reebok Stadium will bring in more than £250,000 of business into the town.
We congratulate everyone involved in working to obtain the convention.
It's a welcome boost for Bolton.
