Day 270 - 28 Jun 96 - Page 24
1 Monetary Fund. Do you recollect that as a subject which
2 people in the group were interested in protesting against
3 or some of the people in the group were interested in
4 protesting against?
5 A. Yes, I have some recollection of it. Yes, I think I
6 do, yes, I remember that fairly well.
7
8 MR. MORRIS: There is nothing in this in fact or any previous of
9 your notes about me volunteering for anything to do with
10 the fayre. If I had have volunteered, would you have noted
11 that?
12 A. I would have thought so. If it was something worthy of
13 note, I would have put it down.
14
15 Q. Right. I may be wrong, but I cannot find anything in any
16 of your notes - Mr. Rampton, I am sure, will scour them to
17 prove me wrong if he can - where I volunteered to do
18 anything in terms of activities for London Greenpeace in
19 all of these notes that you have produced. Do you have
20 anything to say about that?
21
22 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Why not just ask: "Do you remember me
23 volunteering to do anything about London Greenpeace". That
24 is what you are asking, in effect.
25
26 MR. MORRIS: Do you remember me volunteering to do anything on
27 behalf of London Greenpeace?
28 A. No, I do not.
29
30 Q. Apart from maybe taking the minutes like anybody did at a
31 meeting or something like that?
32 A. No. And certainly if you had, it would have been in my
33 report.
34
35 Q. Right. Just in the third paragraph on that page 25, the
36 front of 20th September, it has here:
37
38 "It was some time before the meeting actually began with
39 Dave Morris leading the proceedings, Paul Gravett taking
40 the minutes, et cetera."
41
42 What do you mean by "leading the proceedings"?
43 A. Well again, I think it is a matter that certain members
44 who had been attending these meetings for a long time were
45 more confident in sort of standing up and kicking things
46 off than other people who had perhaps just joined the group
47 who did not really know what was going on. So you, like
48 any of the others, would probably have just opted to stand
49 up and kick off the meeting.
50
51 Q. Right.
52 A. But it was not, again as I said before, so much of
53 someone standing up and being a chairman. It just was not
54 that formal.
55
56 Q. Did you ever see any votes at meetings or anything like
57 that?
58 A. No.
59
60 Q. No show of hands or anything?
