Hello,
Any business English experts out there?
Regarding business English in meetings. What does 'taking the minutes' or 'the minutes for tomorrow' mean?
Cheers
Jag

When a meeting is held, someone will record what happens during the meeting, with any decisions or resolutions made. These notes are known as "Minutes"and are always in the plural form.
But you can have someone designated as the 'minute taker'
Thank you!

And you always finish the minutes with AOB
Any Other Business
Meaning anything unrelated to any of the subjects/topics under discussion.
You normally go round the room to everyone in turn.
Then, 'meeting closed @' Date, venue and time of next meeting' thank the Lord I have gone past all that!!![]()
Three words are used in meetings which have nothing to do with time:
1. Minutes: as already explained
2. Second: if you second a motion in a meeting you support it.
3. Adjourn: if you adjourn a meeting you postpone it.
The definitiion of a meeting:
A group of the unwilling, chosen from the unfit to do the unnecessary.
