It is increasingly difficult to get someone to sit in on meetings to take the minutes, so why not record the minutes and have them transcribed by King Audio Transcription & Typing Services (KATTS). Draft minutes can then be sent to you via email attachment.
Like a focus group, if everyone takes a minute or so at the beginning of the meeting to introduce themselves this will help the transcriber to create a voice map of the participants. Obviously it would be useful if the Chair keeps a tight meeting and only allows one person to speak at a time and annouces when a person seconds a suggestion e.g. 'seconded by Mrs Smith' etc.
