THE Bolton Evening News has been part of the Internet revolution for the last year. Our main news, business and sports stories can be read every day by "surfers" anywhere in the world. We regularly receive messages from far-flung corners of the globe and expatriate Boltonians tell us they are delighted with their electronic "BEN".

Editor Andrew Smith has been delighted with the success of our Bolton Worldwide Netlist - a directory of Internet subscribers who share an interest in Bolton. Our Internet address is: http:/www.newsquest.co.uk/ben
