     2   MS. STEEL:  "...gained by simply attendance of public meetings".

     4   MR. MORRIS:  "Entry into the group is gained simply by
     5        attendance of public meetings.  These meetings are held on
     6        the last Thursday of every month."
     7
     8   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  I want to write that in, please.  "Entry into
     9        the group is...."
    10
    11   MS. STEEL:  ".....gained simply by attendance of public
    12        meetings.  These meetings are held", and then it goes over
    13        the page.
    14
    15   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Thank you.  Yes.
    16
    17   MR. MORRIS:  Then it says:  "The meetings used to be held every
    18        Thursday at the Endsleigh Street address."  All right, we
    19        might as well read it all out.
    20
    21        "The meetings are held on the last Thursday of every month
    22        at 6 Endsleigh Street."
    23
    24        These are the public meetings; yes?
    25        A.  Yes.
    26
    27   Q.   Right.  "......at 7.30 p.m. and every other Thursday at
    28        their office at 5 Caledonian Road N1.  The meetings used to
    29        be held every Thursday at the Endsleigh Street address, but
    30        hire of this room there became too expensive for this
    31        system to continue."
    32
    33        So, the lack of money in the group, is that a continuing
    34        feature?
    35        A.  I do not know that there was a lack of money in the
    36        group.  I was simply reporting something that was said to
    37        me.
    38
    39   Q.   Later on, you talk about people having to organise benefits
    40        that you attended, things like that?
    41        A.  My awareness was that there was a bank account which
    42        contained between £1,000 and £2,000, and I never really,
    43        other than the telephone bill, saw anything that money was
    44        spent on -- I suppose printing of leaflets and whatever
    45        else.  I never had any dealings with the financial aspects
    46        of the group.
    47
    48   Q.   Right.  But, so far as you aware, that it was decided
    49        discontinue meetings largely held at Endsleigh Street,
    50        because it was too expensive to keep doing that? 
    51        A.  I was reporting something that was said to me. 
    52 
    53   MR. MORRIS:  Right.  That is what you were told.
    54
    55   MS. STEEL:   There is not a note in these notes of leaflets
    56        being picked up from the stall, that I can see.  You do
    57        refer to getting a copy of a programme.
    58        A.  I do not remember if I did pick up leaflets or not.
    59        I would be very surprised if I did not.  In fact, thinking
    60        about it, I am fairly sure I did submit leaflets with
