Mar.5 (postponed from Oct.30 1964). 'Flying Saucers, Are They Fact or Fiction?' by Tom Dutton.

Notwithstanding claims by our enemies that ASTRA is 'just a UFO society', this was the first of four - count 'em, FOUR - meetings that the society has held on UFO's in its entire history. Tom Dutton believed in UFO's, and he believed the society should be reoriented to investigating them. This was strongly opposed by Oscar, Sandy Glover and myself, and was defeated when put to a vote. To our regret, Tom then resigned from the Presidency.

May 6. AGM. Sandy Glover elected President, Oscar Vice-Pres., Margaret continued Secretary. Mr. Carnegie stood down as Treasurer and I replaced him as Custodian of the Envelope.

Oct.11. Sandy Glover, 'Spaceflight, Waste or Wisdom?'

Nov. 4. Barry Spink, 'Applications of Electronics in Rocket Guidance'.
