Day 272 - 02 Jul 96 - Page 20

     
     1        1989 I organised both anti-McDonald's fayres almost
     2        entirely by myself, with a little bit of help.  Well, with
     3        some help from Charlie in 1989 doing the stage, the music
     4        events, and I think Andrew Clark helped with the printing
     5        of the programme.  And I had actually -- I remember in 1989
     6        it got to about August and nothing had been done about the
     7        fayre and then I decided I had done it the year before so I
     8        would take it on again and do it myself.
     9
    10   Q.   Do you mean '89?
    11        A.  '89, but I did it myself in that year.
    12
    13   Q.   Okay.
    14        A.   During 1990 we again got to the stage of August and
    15        nothing much had been done and that is when I think I
    16        probably said at a meeting "I will do my share but there is
    17        no way I am going to take it all on, as I have in the
    18        previous two years, and if people are not prepared to do
    19        it, then we have got to cancel it".
    20
    Q.   Right.  If we move on to the notes of 13th September,
    22        1990.  I have got the find the right person.
    23
    24   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Page 187.
    25
    26   MS. STEEL:  I actually want the notes of Michelle Hooker for
    27        13th September.  I am not sure what page they are.
    28
    29   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  They should be further on in the bundle you
    30        have.
    31
    32   MS. STEEL:  It will be opposite - there is a little number 4 in
    33        the margin with a circle round it and three-quarters of the
    34        page is blank.
    35
    36   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  It is at 201A and at 201B.
    37
    38   MS. STEEL:  Do you remember Shellie?
    39        A.   Yes, I do.
    40
    Q.   Right.  What was her involvement in the group?
    42        A.   Well, she very quickly took a very active role in the
    43        group.  I remember her turning up and she was a very
    44        lively, friendly, talkative person and seemed to be able to
    45        get things done and she started volunteering to do things,
    46        lots of things, and I remember thinking at the time, you
    47        know, it is unusual getting someone coming into the group,
    48        you know, and they want to do a lot of things, it is great,
    49        is it not, you know.
    50
    51   Q.   There is a reference here in her notes to she had said at
    52        the meeting that she had made arrangements for the public
    53        meeting on 27th September.  Do you remember whether or not
    54        she was organising that meeting or taking a part in
    55        organising it?
    56        A.   Yes, to best of my knowledge she did, yes, she took a
    57        part in organising it.  I cannot say exactly what she did,
    58        but, yes.
    59
    60   Q.   Umm.
