Meeting Minutes Free to use.

Template 072 minute readUpdated September 2026

Who met, what was decided, who owns the action and when it is due: a one-page format that records decisions without turning a meeting into an essay. Nothing else survives the week.

The structure

  • Header: meeting title, date, time, location or platform, attendees, apologies.
  • Agenda: numbered items.
  • Discussion and decisions: a table of item, discussion summary, decision, owner, and due date.
  • Action items: each action with its owner and due date, ticked off as done.
  • Next meeting: date.

Source note: A working structure. Minutes record decisions and actions, not conversation.
