My lodge holds a board of general purpose half an hour before each stated meeting where the minutes are read line by line. WM, SW, and JW plus any other brother who wishes to attend discuss the contents of the minutes. Then in the actual stated meeting the WM simply asks the Senior and Junior Wardens if they have read the minutes, they state that they did at the Board of general purpose and then the WM signs the minutes in lodge. It's only been that way for the past year but it seems to be working well for our brethren and saves lots of time each meeting.
