Day 185 - 07 Nov 95 - Page 06

     
     1        come to this event?
     2        A.  Most of them, unless they were working or they had
     3        previous engagements.
     4
     5   Q.   How many would you say that was in total; how many managers
     6        are there at the store, approximately?
     7        A.  Then or now?
     8
     9   Q.   Then?
    10        A.  I believe there was eight or nine.  I am not sure.
    11
    12   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Are you including Swing Managers?
    13        A.  Yes.
    14
    15   MR. MORRIS:  Most of those eight or nine came to this event, did
    16        they?
    17        A.  I would say five or six came due to their working or
    18        having other engagements.
    19
    20   Q.   You said two or three were helping with the refreshments?
         A.  I know as a fact Patty, Arlene and Travis; I remember
    22        them being inside with me.  But I cannot remember if there
    23        were other people in there with me or not; like, I cannot
    24        remember that.  I mean, they could have been or they could
    25        not have been; I cannot remember.
    26
    27   Q.   Which Patty was that, sorry -- Patty?
    28        A.  Dickens.  She got married.  I do not know when.  So
    29        I am not sure what her last name might have been then.
    30
    31   Q.   OK.  I just want to find something.  If you go to
    32        paragraph 58, the meeting held by the management, or by
    33        Cam, at St. Timothy's Roman Catholic Church on the night
    34        before the vote, you said: "It is correct that a slide show
    35        with theme 'just say no' was shown."  Was this shown
    36        twice?  Do you remember it being shown twice?
    37        A.  It was shown once, and then I believe that the crew,
    38        some of the crew, had asked if they could see it again.
    39        Like, I remember, I think it was -- there was somebody
    40        there who was showing it; like, he was not -- I had never
         seen him before.  He was there just showing it, because he
    42        had organised the music to it, I think it was.  I am not
    43        sure.  But he asked us -- you know, we thought the meeting
    44        was over and everything, but he asked us if we wanted to
    45        see it again, and the crew, some of the crew, had replied
    46        "yes", so I believe they did show it again, yes.  But it
    47        was the crew's decision.  I do not think it was planned.
    48
    49   Q.   The slide show was synchronised with background music such
    50        as "Shining, Happy People" and "It is a Wonderful World", 
    51        was it? 
    52        A.  I think so. 
    53
    54   Q.   Did you stand outside at the end of the meeting while
    55        people filed out, came out?
    56        A.  I cannot remember.  I am not sure if I just left
    57        afterwards or if I was standing outside waiting for my
    58        friends.  I cannot remember how I -- I cannot even remember
    59        how I got home.  I know, you know, I drove home, but
    60        I cannot remember if I drove, you know, if somebody drove
