NWDUG meets on the second Tuesday of the month and features expert help, discussions and demonstrations.
Bring your Drupal questions and problems, as well as any projects you'd like to demo.
We meet in MadLab, in Plant Noma in the northern quarter of Manchester.
We usually have a round up of all the Drupal news, one or two talks, followed by any other business before moving on to the pub. Specifics are announced on our Meetup group, https://www.meetup.com/nwdrupal/
We also have our own slack channel, DM @nwdug on Twitter for an invite.
NWDUG January Meet-up
Our usual monthly meet-up at the MDDA in Manchester. You're welcome to bring your Drupal questions and problems, as well as any projects you'd like to demo.
We usually have a good turnout of people, ranging from complete beginners with the software to full-time developers, so if you're looking to learn more about Drupal, this user group is a great place to start.
We like to have a mix of demos, breakout sessions and general Drupal banter with time for questions and one-on-one help.
There's the added option of moving on to a nearby pub for refreshment, usually The Old Monkey.

Hi NW Drupal people
Hi Guys,
I am just starting out developing with Drupal and wondered what sort of level most of the guys in this group are at?
I am familiar with php, mysql, linux etc but the site I am planning to build at the moment will be my first drupal site.
Just wondered if I would be a burdon to the group/meet ups or if it would be a good idea for me to get involved.
I will also be looking to pay a local drupal developer to work on certain aspects of the project and certainly with the initial setup (e.g use of available modules etc.)

I'm in the process of looking for sponsorship and a suitable venue in Manchester for a Drupalcamp. I'm aiming to make it a two day event, but other than that, I'm after some input on the format and content.
So, what would you like to see at your ideal Drupalcamp Manchester? Who would you like to see talk? What topics are you most interested in? Would you prefer to see talks, workshops or a mix of the two? I'm open to ideas, so please fire away and help make Drupalcamp Manchester an event to remember :-)
