NENgaging tonight?

Just a reminder that NENgage – the NEN’s programme of fun, informal Social Media workshops – continues in Stockbridge Library tonight at 5.45pm.

This is our second workshop, but you don’t have to have attended the first one as each session is independent of the others. There are a very limited number of places left for tonight’s session – An Introduction to Blogging – but you need to register if you plan to attend! Please go to:

Tom, Lucy and I look forward to meeting you all tonight, and thanks again to Inverleith Neighbourhood Partnership for supporting this initiative.

Locals learn the art of Blogging

Well last night I went along to our first NENgage session at Stockbridge Library. On approach to the session I was excited but also a little nervous. I was worried that local people who had booked onto the session wouldn’t turn up and we would be left with just a few of us.

I arrived just in time to watch Tom run through his presentation with Emily and then the participants started to arrive.

I was delighted when local residents and staff from local projects started turning up and very quickly the room was full and everyone who registered had turned up.

Tom and Emily started their training session and before we knew it was time for the participants to have a go at writing a Blog.

Everyone really enjoyed the training session and then we retired to a nearby watering hole who had agreed to put on a buffet for us. This was a perfect time for people to chat and share tales. For me it was an opportunity to catch up with former NEN board member Tina who attended the training.

Thanks to everyone who came along and we look forward to seeing at the next training session.
