BOLTON'S Reebok Stadium played host to more than 750 travel agents at the UK travel industry's Northern Ball.
Andrew Dickson of St Andrews Travel, current President of Bolton and Bury Chamber of Commerce, put pressure on the organisers to look beyond Manchester for once and try the new De Vere Hotel and the Reebok's Premier Suite -- the biggest banqueting suite in the North-west. It can hold up to 1,000 diners.
"This was great for the Reebok and great for Bolton," Mr Dickson said. "We filled every hotel in Bolton and for miles around. Everyone was pleasantly surprised with the town's facilities and the surrounding countryside."
