     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?
