Day 270 - 28 Jun 96 - Page 26
1 something?
2 A. Yes, I felt as though it might have been a little
3 obvious if I did not offer to do something.
4
5 Q. There is something about entertainment, Charlie giving you
6 numbers and names of alternative entertainments. Right,
7 that is for the children's entertainment. Was that for you
8 to do bookings for the children's entertainment?
9 A. Yes, I believe that is what it was, yes.
10
11 Q. The next paragraph you have got:
12
13 "Forthcoming events were raised on the agenda and Paul
14 seeming to be quite enthused at the prospect advised all
15 present that there was to be a public meeting of the
16 Hackney and Islington Animal Rights Campaign on the evening
17 of Monday the 1st of October on the subject of "McDonald's,
18 Everything They Don't Want You to Know", and he was to be
19 the guest speaker as representative of the subject group."
20
21 What do you mean by "advised all present"?
22 A. I cannot actually remember this happening, but looking
23 at my report, it seems to me that he was reporting that
24 this is what he was going to be doing as reports were often
25 made about activities that different people were involved
26 in. So he was informing the rest of the members of the
27 group that that is what he was going to be doing.
28
29 Q. Right. I mean, if there had been a decision made that he
30 should be representing the group or, you know, anything
31 like that, would you have made a note of such a decision?
32 A. Yes, I tried to be quite careful about how things
33 occurred, so I think I would have put it down in that way
34 if that is the way it had happened, yes.
35
36 MR. MORRIS: Sorry, a few final questions. The one thing at the
37 very beginning you said in the note is you said you were
38 not told to put any leaflets in the letter that you
39 answered. Do you remember you answered a letter?
40 A. The letter that I took, yes.
41
42 Q. It is in your statement, sorry. So can you just explain
43 what you meant by that?
44 A. By not being told, you are saying?
45
46 Q. How would you answer a letter, what was the process?
47 A. I am not quite sure. I cannot remember what the letter
48 was about. But, as far as I can remember, it was just to
49 contact the people or person who had written, but certainly
50 nobody was instructing me to do anything. It was just
51 something that I volunteered to do. So nobody said do this
52 and do that.
53
54 Q. So what leaflets, if any, would you put in the mail out?
55 Did someone tell you what leaflets should be put in or did
56 no one tell you or did someone say not to put any leaflets
57 in?
58 A. Well, that letter was not part of the mail out.
59
60 Q. No, in that letter that you answered, how did you decide
