Hi,
I'm looking for some advice, probable from Lodge Secretaries, regarding keeping the Minutes of the Lodge Meetings.
Previously to becoming Secretary, we have always used standard Minute Books where the Minutes are hand written.
It now seems that the current trend (in the UK at least) is to use a "Skeleton Minute Book", which doesn't have pages as such, but has short tabs instead. These seem to be one wide followed by two narrow throughout the book and the idea is you produce the Minutes on a Word Processor and then stick them in the book on to these tabs.
I don't understand why the wide and narrow and also how the thickness at the spine isn't increased to bursting point as additions are made.
Any advice would be welcome and gratefully received.
