1 A. It says here she prepared a poster.
2
3 Q. Right. What else do you remember about Shellie's
4 involvement in the group --
5 A. Well --
6
7 Q. -- and any other activities?
8 A. Well, like I said, she was a very lively, friendly
9 person and she immediately started talking, you know, got
10 talking to us and started coming to meetings. She
11 volunteered to help organise the 1990 fayre. I certainly
12 remember her that year doing announcements from the stage
13 and helping to coordinate the bits and pieces going on
14 there. She also very quickly got involved with Hackney and
15 Islington Animal Rights as well and started going on their
16 activities, which included anti-McDonald's demonstrations.
17 I can remember her being at some of those.
18
19 Q. Did she ever hand out any leaflets?
20 A. She did, yes, anti-McDonald's leaflets that we had at
21 those demonstrations. She also, as I remember, came to the
22 October 16th, 199- anti-McDonald's demonstration at the
23 head office that London Greenpeace organised.
24
25 Q. Do you remember how long or when she stopped coming to
26 meetings, London Greenpeace meetings?
27 A. It would have been sometime in the spring, I would
28 say, of 1991. She disappeared quite suddenly.
29
30 Q. How do you remember when she stopped coming?
31 A. Well, I have got a very specific recollection of when
32 she stopped coming, being around, because she actually
33 phoned me and said that she was going away to Scotland to
34 do some work and that she would be back, and I am pretty
35 certain she said around the time of the Cup final. I do
36 not know why she said that, but that would have made it
37 sometime in May 1991. By this time I was already friends
38 with her outside group activities and she was also in a
39 relationship with Charlie Brook, although I think that was
40 just in the process of breaking up, but they were certainly
41 in a relationship for a good few months.
42
43 Q. And you talked about her activity in the group and in
44 Hackney and Islington Animal Rights?
45 A. Yes.
46
47 Q. How long did that carry on for?
48 A. Well, I would say it was almost up to the time she
49 left. I mean, I would say up to the spring. I cannot give
50 a definite date but say April of '91.
51
52 Q. Okay. If we just go back to the notes again now. There is
53 a reference on the second page of her notes saying that
54 Jane gave a short report on the picket of Nag's Head
55 McDonald's on 8th September. Do you know who that picket
56 was organised by?
57 A. Which page is this?
58
59 Q. It is on the second page of the notes of 13th September,
60 where the number 4 is on the second page. It is just after
