News from The Mac Observer.

The grand opening of Apple's U.K. Manchester Arndale store at the Arndale Centre in Manchester, will be at 9:00 am on Saturday, 30th September 30. Apple is planning a week long series of events to celebrate the Grand Opening, free training events and free prizes including T-shirts for the first 1000 visitors.

One lucky winner will walk away with the grand prize, a "Digital Lifestyle Collection" valued at £1825.95 including a 20-inch flat-panel Intel Core Duo iMac, a 30GB iPod, a Canon Ixus 65 digital camera, a Canon MV960 video camera, and an HP Photosmart 2575 multifunction printer.

The link works well. Do you have any photos to share?

Unfortunately, my cameraphone is out of action with regards to picture taking at the moment, and TJ's camcorder was having it's
battery recharged. So, we were unable to take any photos or videos of the opening event. But, all is not lost. Thanks to almost
everyone else that turned up early for the grand opening, there are now likely to lots a photos and videos of some of todays
goings on all the likes of flickr, YouTube, and any number of other photo/video sharing websites and weblogs.

We'll try and compile a list of some of the best ones we can find, and post some of them here later on.

Meanwhile, I did take some pics of my ugly mug with the built-in iSight webcam (using PhotoBooth) on one of the in-store iMacs!

Yup, black with small white Apple logo, and the words "Manchester Arndale" next to it.
