Funny, they call them "business meetings" here in Toronto.
But yeah, some cross (and crass!) talk, taking care of internal business, upcoming events, and pretty much figuring out who is doing what for the next month or so. The joke is that if you can successfully practice spiritual principles in those meetings, you are doing very well in your program!
It's good to be a part of them - another way of doing service, and showing commitment to the home group.
