BellTime Magazine Spring/ Summer 2016 May 2016 | Page 3

Welcome to the Summer Edition of BellTime Magazine. We’d like to take this opportunity to wish everyone sitting their exams the best of luck. Our fingers are crossed for you! After a very hectic winter, we sprung into action and revamped our site. You can check it out at www. belltimemagazine.ie along with our digital interactive copy. This edition and the new site wouldn’t have been possible without the help of our squad, a couple of students from DKIT and Blanchardstown I.T. who did their work placement with us so we’re giving them a big massive shoutout. Since Summer is coming (Winter in Ireland or if you’re a Game of Thrones fan), BellTime Magazine in association with USIT are feeling generous. An Interrail Ticket for 32 countries around Europe is up for grabs! For a chance to win, just like and share us on Facebook! For news and more prizes, keep yourselves updated on www. belltimemagazine.ie and don’t be shy, follow us on all our social media channels.
