    I had a similar thing happen to me a few years back.

    What I did was; at the next AGM when the approval of the prior years minutes came around…

    Yes. That is the way to do it. If you want an amendment to the minutes, it is put as a motion at the time that the acceptance of minutes motion comes up early in the next meeting. It is good practice, and avoids confusion or looking disorganised, to have the text of your proposed amendment of the minutes written out so you can give it to the chair at the appropriate moment. After you have spoken to the motion, the chair can then read out your motion again, and it helps the person taking minutes of the meeting to have it written down already – less risk of further error in transcription. 

    I recommend keeping your addition/amendment of the minutes brief and utterly objective. It makes you look good and maximises the chance that your amendment is passed.
