STUDENTS at NEW College IT centres in Bromsgrove and Droitwich have been encouraging their friends to get on board the technology revolution.

A colour television has been up for grabs at the college's three centres, including one in Redditch, in a bid to attract more students to information technology.

Those who introduced a friend to the centre were entered into a prize draw which took place last week.

The lucky winners were Roma Punt, from Bromsgrove, Carole Pritchard, from Droitwich and Iris Clingan, from Redditch.

Roma, from Sidemoor, said: "I was on the internet when they left the message. My television is very old so I think I'll replace it with the new one.

"I think the competition was a great idea - I introduced three people to the centre where I have already made lots of new friends. The tutors are wonderful and I thoroughly enjoy it."
