Day 270 - 28 Jun 96 - Page 13

     
     1   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Yes, "It was mentioned that Paul", from
     2        there.
     3
     4   MS. STEEL:  To the end of that paragraph?
     5        A.  Yes, to the best of my recollection.  Yes, I seem to
     6        remember that there was some discussion about whether or
     7        not there were enough people to man the fayre.
     8
     9   Q.   You said about this meeting, on the first page of these
    10        notes, page 8 of the bundle, "The meeting commenced and
    11        Jonathan led the proceedings and introduced himself in."
    12        Then, later on, when Jonathan left you said on page 4 of
    13        your notes that:
    14
    15        "The table had collapsed and everything had fallen on the
    16        floor, and after everything had been restored to some state
    17        of order the meeting resumed with Jane and Helen jointly
    18        leading the proceedings.  Jane was throughout the meeting
    19        taking minutes in the large red book."
    20
         What do you mean by leading the proceedings or led the
    22        proceedings?
    23        A.  Well, it is just that somebody had to sort of get it
    24        going again.  I do not mean actually that again there was a
    25        sort of chairperson as such.  It is just that they were
    26        kicking it off, just getting it going.
    27
    28   Q.   In the next paragraph you have got:
    29
    30        "Coming events were read out and several leaflets were
    31        handed out for any interest, see attached."
    32
    33        You have got a leaflet about an international cast for the
    34        peace trials, a non-violent summer camp in July 1990, and a
    35        festival list for 1990, a Hopefield animal sanctuary
    36        leaflet.  That seems to be it.  And then you say:
    37
    38        "It was decided, mainly by Jane, that a leaflet would be
    39        written condemning the sponsors of the musical production
    40        because the sponsors were Aerosols International and
         Clark's Shoes."
    42
    43        What do you mean by it was decided mainly by Jane?
    44        A.  I feel that each individual sort of had their own
    45        special interest and it seemed that this was one that Jane
    46        was particularly interested in.  She might have -- yes, it
    47        seemed like that was her particular interest.  I mean, not
    48        everybody was interested in every issue that was under
    49        discussion.
    50 
    51   Q.   Was this an unusual occurrence or was that -- 
    52        A.  That seemed pretty common really. 
    53
    54   Q.   So she just got on with it on her own?
    55        A.  Yes, basically.  I think anybody who wanted to do
    56        something just got on and did it, really.  It did not
    57        necessarily have to have involvement from everybody who was
    58        there.
    59
    60   Q.   Okay.  If we go on to 19th July.  This is on page 20 of the
