Meeting minutes and minute book

All committee meetings must have minutes. These are the official record of the actions and decisions of the management committee. They are generally taken by the Secretary, circulated after the meeting and approved (with any agreed changes) at the next meeting.

Generally speaking, minutes should include:

• The date and time of the meeting (including start and finish times).
• Who was present and the names of anyone who sent apologies.
• A summary of the main issues that were raised and discussed during the meeting.
• All formal decisions made during the meeting.
• A list of the agreed action, together with name of person responsible.
