So it seems I am not alone in finding evenings, paricularly Fridays impossible to handle for the North West Drupal user group. Mark Hope [http://twitter.com/markhopetweets] has the same issues.
What if I were to propose a shorter lunch break style casual Drupal meet up in central Manchester? Would anyone be interested? We could elect a cafe and just socialise, talk Drupal and share knowledge, advice. I am pretty sure some of my team would be up for it but what about other Drupalers in Manchester?
Anyone who thinks the idea has legs please reach me via http://twitter.com/pdjohnson on Twitter. If I get enough interest I will think something up.
This is by no means an attempt to hijack the well established #nwdug which meets at Madlab every month.

I like it, I currently work
I like it, I currently work near sackville street building so could get somewhere pretty easily.
However, Ideally I'd prefer if it happened on a different day to the nwdug because I'll still be going to that. It could still be a friday (or wednesday if they move to that day) but maybe the 1st week of the month instead of the 3rd?
