Hi Barrie, Joomla Day UK sounds like a great idea. I will be attending. I live in Manchester so Leeds is a handy venue for me. It makes a nice change not having to travel to London for a specialist IT event. Regards, John |

Sounds great. Not sure if I will be able to make it as It's my b-day ;-) and I think my missus has planned some stuff. I'd love to put forward a t shirt design though. Do you have a specific criteria for the design other than the 'I was at Joomla day UK'. |
