STUDENTS are celebrating a hat-trick of successes after scooping a prestigious award for the third year running.

The Bolton Community College students have won the Chairman's Trophy at the town's Team Enterprise awards.

They won the award, which is given to a team which has put in exceptional effort under difficult circumstances, for running a college tuck shop called Allsorts as well as a mobile trolley refreshments service.

The group, who have learning difficulties, also produced and sold seasonal gifts.

Team tutor Barbara Platt said: "The judges were extremely impressed with the professional appearance and presentation of the team and their infectious enthusiasm and energy.

"We are proud of their outstanding achievement at this hotly contested and prestigious contest."
