Day 275 - 08 Jul 96 - Page 38


     
     1        August, where there is reference to Paul Gravett doing a
     2        press release, that would be up to him to get on with as he
     3        was the person running the campaign.  That was not unusual
     4        in terms of if somebody was doing a particular campaign,
     5        they would write a press release.  It did not have to be
     6        agreed by everybody, they just got on and did whatever they
     7        felt was important to do.

     9             The notes of Mr. Claire of 9th August I was not
    10        actually at this meeting, but if I just said that where Mr.
    11        Claire says that there would be an anti-McDonald's stall at
    12        the fayre, at none of the meetings I have ever attended has
    13        anyone every said that there would be an anti-McDonald's
    14        store at the fayre.  Nor at the one fayre that I have
    15        attended has there been an anti-McDonald's store.

    19   MR. MORRIS:  Sorry, what date are we looking at?
    20        A.  9th August.  It just occurred to me, actually, that
    21        where he refers to the leading members of the group that is
    22        actually comment, and so I do not know that it is opinion
    23        rather than -- sorry, so I do not know that it can be taken
    24        as evidence in any way, but certainly if there is any
    25        thought of it being taken as evidence there were no leading
    26        members of the group, there was no hierarchy, there was no
    27        one in charge.

    29             Moving on to the notes of Frances Tiller for 23rd
    30        August 1990.  Just to say that as regards the creche
    31        organisation, in paragraph 5, I do remember Jan --
    32        obviously, her name is Frances Tiller but we knew her as
    33        Jan -- saying that he would organise the creche.  I also
    34        remember Alan Clare saying that he would organise the
    35        individuals for videos for the fayre and generally sounding
    36        quite enthusiastic about it.  I remember it being brought
    37        up on a number of occasions about who was doing what at the
    38        fayre, and him confirming that he was going to do the
    39        videos.

    41             The other thing on this page, which is not a
    42        particularly important point but it is just an example of
    43        how the private investigators get things a bit wrong, that
    44        Paul Gravett was not called "gravelly path", he was called
    45        "gravel pit".
    46
    47   Q.   He was called?
    48        A.  "Gravel pit".  It was not my idea, but that is what his
    49        name was anyway.

    51             The next one I want to refer to, I think, is page 203,
    52        the notes of Mr. Bishop of 20th September 1990 and on page
    53        2 of those notes, which is page 203, he says that I was
    54        organising the printing of leaflets for the Greenpeace
    55        fayre.  That is incorrect.  I was organising the printing
    56        of leaflets for the IMF picket, the picket of the World
    57        Bank, and as far as I can recall Andrew Clarke was doing
    58        the printing of leaflets for the fayre.
