On behalf of Be Birmingham, Podnosh invites anyone from voluntary and community groups in Edgbaston, Harborne and Selly Oak to a series of Social Media Surgeries.

These are informal gatherings where people can learn how to use the web and social media to help their organisations to work and communicate.

It will start at 4.30pm and finish at 6.00pm. Feel free to drop by at any time that you can and we will try to pair you up with one of our Social Media Surgeons - who are all ordinary people with knowledge and experience of using social media in a variety of ways.
