Last weekend I jumped on a train to attend Drupalcamp UK in Manchester. I know a lot Drupallers from London, since we have regular meetings, but not that many from up north. I've chatted with many of them on the #drupal-uk IRC channel, but it was great putting names to faces and seeing some old friends. The event was held in the BBC in Manchester which was great and very comfortable, it even had a pub inside, which was sweet. Sadly I only could go for the first day and missed all the sessions on Sunday. Here is a summary of the sessions I attended:

Drupal has always attracted developers, because of the amazing and clean code it has, and because of the power of Drupal's APIs. Drupal has been slow to attract web designers, and I have a feeling that is about to change if it hasn't already. It is no secret that Wordpress and Joomla have a lot more beautiful free and premium themes avialble to download, this has always baffled me since it so much easier (in my experience) to make a Drupal theme.
