Day 262 - 13 Jun 96 - Page 21


     
     1        You can confirm that, yes?
     2        A.  Yes.
     3
     4   Q.   Was that the general impression that you got, that the
     5        group was somewhat disorganised about keeping its kind of
     6        history and records, well, organised?
     7        A.  Certainly, with regard to written records, yes.  A lot
     8        of the history -- any history that was maintained within
     9        the group, my impression was that it came from people
    10        within the group who had been there for some time, who had
    11        been members of the group for a long period.
    12
    13   Q.   A kind of verbal history, you mean?
    14        A.  Yes.
    15
    16   Q.   If we move on to 18th January.  Can I just ask you:  you
    17        said yesterday that you took the minutes, you can recall,
    18        on at least one occasion.  There was no great significance
    19        in who took the minutes, was there?
    20        A.  No, no.
    21
    22   Q.   It was just thrown open, you know, and anybody could take
    23        them; it was asked for a volunteer?
    24        A.  Yes.  I do not recall any restrictions on who took
    25        minutes.
    26
    27   Q.   It did not mean that if you took minutes you were in charge
    28        of the meeting?
    29        A.  No one was in charge of the meetings.
    30
    31   Q.   18th January, you arrived at 7.30 p.m. at Caledonian
    32        Road. "By 8 o'clock, Andrew Clarke, Helen Steel, Kevin,
    33        John and someone from Catford whose name was not given were
    34        present."  Yes?
    35        A.  Yes.
    36
    37   Q.   That, again, would have been Alan?
    38        A.  I presume so.
    39
    40   Q.   The inquiry agent?
    41        A.  I presume so.
    42
    43   Q.   He says he was at that meeting.  You say, on the second
    44        page: "No more information was forthcoming concerning
    45        client company or any information relevant to this matter."
    46
    47        Presumably, by "no more information", you are referring to
    48        what went on -- in terms of what went on at previous
    49        weeks?  You have not got anything this week.  There does
    50        not seem to be any mention in there, unless it has been 
    51        blanked out, of anything about McDonald's? 
    52        A.  I cannot remember my intention when I wrote this, but 
    53        I presume it refers to previous meetings.
    54
    55   Q.   If I had said anything of great significance about
    56        McDonald's, you would have made a note of it?
    57        A.  If I had remembered something that you had said and
    58        I had remembered you were the one who said it, then I would
    59        have made a note that you said whatever.
