Roll around Lancashire to get sponsorship for one servicewoman? (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

barmaid

'servicewoman?' is the definition.

'roll around lancashire to get sponsorship for one' is the wordplay.
'roll around lancashire' becomes 'barm' (Lancashire term for a bread roll).
'to get' says to put letters next to each other.
'sponsorship for one' becomes 'aid' (sponsorship is a type of aid).
'barm'+'aid'='BARMAID'

(Other definitions for barmaid that I've seen before include "Local girl" , "Pub worker" , "She serves drinks" , "attendant" , "serving lady" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
