Write clear minutes for a club or committee meeting

You took messy notes and minutes are due. Get formal-enough minutes with decisions and actions only.

Updated 17 Oct 2026

The prompt · ChatGPT

Write minutes from my notes.

Meeting: [club/committee]
Date: [date]
Attendees if known: [list]
Messy notes: [paste]
Decisions I know were made: [list]

Ask me up to 3 short questions first if anything important is missing. Wait for my answers.

Then:
1. Minutes with decisions highlighted.
2. Action table (who / what / when).
3. Gaps where I need to confirm.
4. A one-line approval request for the chair.

Only use what I've told you, leave blanks for anything I haven't given, and don't invent facts, quotes or what the other person thinks. UK English.

Stay in this ChatGPT chat. Do not turn on apps or connectors, and do not use memory from another chat.

A short example

Fill the blanks, then paste. club/committee: a short note you already have. date: a short note you already have. Leave the rest of the prompt as written.
