Back in the old days when Parish Records were first recorded an agenda item would be discussed and when a decision had been made the clerk would be given one minute in which to write up the decision. At the end of the meeting the Minutes would be read and those present would agree to the minutes being "taken as read". In a minute you can write about thirty words. don't make a minute too long!
