Had Met

I am a secretary who loves to use past perfect tense in my meetings e.g. Had Met or Had been. Is this ok? I remember using it in a particular context "COK and Sodality had met. A memorandum of understanding had been drafted."

I have been using this type of reported speech for years. Is something wrong with my grammar?

Your sentence in the past perfect is correctly constructed. Only with the context would we know if it is the proper time to use it. ]
