Benjamin,
Here in the Phoenix, Arizona area, the Apple Store manager was very
excited and anxious to work with AMUG, prior to the store opening. He
even arranged for a preview night and we held one regular meeting
there. After that, things cooled considerably and we were told that
Apple policy was that the Apple Stores couldn't directly deal with MUGs
outside the store by sending reps to meetings. Since the store could
only only seat 20 (uncomfortably on wooden benches) and our typical
meeting attendance is 75 or so (out of a membership of 700), holding
meetings there was pretty much out of the question. Consequently, our
relationship is nil.
I have heard that some smaller groups do meet at the stores and have
good relationships. I'd say that it all depends on the store manager
and what he thinks he'll get out of it. By all means, meet with him and
see what kind of relationship you can form.
Good luck,
Alex Podressoff

We're al very excited at mmug that Apple have chosen Birmingham as the
second UK city to have an Apple Store. I'm wondering how this will
impact on our group and if any other groups out there have had
successful tie ups/relationships with their 'local' stores. The
planned location is around 5 mins walk from where we meet at the
moment. I'm hoping we can hold some of our group events there.
Any comments?
Cheers
B.
