Transcript 

Sean:   Okay - any other business?  

Will:   Yes, I would like to say something. An illustrator came in last week, and I 

think she's very good and it would be wise to put her on our books.  

Sean:  … okay …  

Will:   I would like to be able to show her drawings and her portfolio² in the next 

couple of days. If that’s all right...  

All:    That sounds good…  

Sean:   Yes, I'll look forward to seeing those. Right, I think that’s probably about 

it, but anybody got anything else that they desperately³ want to raise before 

we wrap up?  

All:    Nope.  

Sean:   No? Okay. We'll be having another meeting, but there are a couple of 

conflicts in the diary so I think the best thing is if I email the date of the 

next meeting.
