MAY I through your letters page, thank everyone involved with the recent Bolton Evening News "Service with a Smile" award.

Garry and I really appreciated the fact that our customers had taken the trouble to nominate us, and were honoured that we had won.

We have just returned from the Last Drop Village after a fabulous weekend, and would like to thank all the staff there for looking after us so well.

Finally can we thank everyone at the BEN for facilitating the award and the presentation evening.

It is a pleasure to serve our customers -- the smile comes naturally!

Many thanks again,

Ann M Wood
