Day 270 - 28 Jun 96 - Page 25
1 A. No.
2
3 Q. Did you ever see anyone tell somebody else what to do or
4 anything like that?
5 A. No, definitely not, no. Sometimes it was difficult to
6 determine actually if anything had been decided at all. I
7 had been used to seeing meetings conducted in a formal
8 manner where there was a clear decision on something, but
9 in these meetings that was not the case.
10
11 Q. Then you noted that:
12
13 "Dave started to read out the contents of the wire in-tray
14 while the rest of us continued with the leaflet folding and
15 stuffing of envelopes."
16
17 When you say "the rest of us", that would have included
18 you?
19 A. Yes.
20
21 Q. Just on the next page, you said, in the second paragraph,
22 the first full paragraph in the middle of that paragraph:
23
24 "MMH - that is Michelle Hooker, your co-agent - was called
25 upstairs to speak to Jonathan on the telephone and
26 apparently arranged to meet in the Ealing area to take some
27 part in this activity."
28
29 What was your impression or knowledge about Michelle
30 Hooker's activity in the group?
31 A. As far as I can recall, that was her initial
32 involvement in activities, that she actually started
33 getting involved with that actual issue, but after that I
34 do not know about any other involvement that she had.
35
36 Q. Right.
37 A. But I believe she did start involving herself in
38 activities of the group.

40 MS. STEEL: You go on to talk about the fayre being discussed
41 and arrangements being made between the main members as to
42 what each one's responsibility was to be in the
43 organisation of the fayre and what their input would be on
44 the day of the fayre. Do you have any recollection about
45 how that was done, you know, how it was gone through in
46 terms of was everybody involved, how were people saying
47 that they would become involved, or anything like that, or
48 do you just not remember much about it at all?
49 A. As far as I can remember, there was a discussion as to
50 what sort of events would be a good idea to have at the
51 fayre and then anybody who wanted to do a specific thing
52 was left free to take over that role and put it into
53 action. But there was no delegation or anything. It was
54 just sort of left open to volunteers, and not everybody
55 opted to do something.
56
57 Q. Right. In fact you go on to say that still nobody had
58 volunteered for the creche and so you said that you would
59 try to make some inquiries and try to -- sorry, you said
60 that you would make some inquiries and try to organise
