I FEEL I must write after attending a football awards night at the new Lads' & Girls' Club on Spa Road.

The club is very impressive and it is obvious that a lot of hard work and dedication went into the successful Lottery bid.

The children were all beautifully turned out and exceptionally well behaved, despite having to sit for two hours or more. Some of the footballers were as young as seven.

These youngsters are the future of Bolton and are a credit to both their parents and coaches.

Congratulations to all at Spa Road, including the management and sponsors without whom the club could not function.

Well done, everybody!
