Confidential meeting about a claim against Castle Cement

We have been to a meeting in The Penyffordd Institute. Blogging may be difficult due to legal restrictions.

I suppose I can talk about it. Will just have to try to decide what the lawyers present meant by confidential material.

The meeting was arranged without telling the all Penyffordd Community Council. I think this a little out of order.

Meeting started about 7.10 pm. There were about 70 villagers in the Penyffordd Institute. The purpose of the meeting was to discuss a proposed group action claim against Castle Cement for Public Nuisance.
The meeting was put together I think by Arnold Wooley in a private capacity rather than as a councillor. Due to Health and Safety regulations it was decided to post letters to 10% of the population plus a few chosen individuals. The population of Penyffordd cannot fit into The Penyffordd Institute.

The meeting was started by Arnold Wooley. He is big on arm sign language and pregnant pauses.
He made sure that part of him was lit up by the projector for dramatic effect. Arnold introduced the two lawyers who were going to do the presentation.

The presentation lasted about 45 minutes with the help of a projector and laptop probably a Power Point presentation.

Neil Stockdale asked at the start of his presentation if there were any members of The Press or Castle Cement present. No answers. Are bloggers members of The Press?
