Aug.8th. Oscar Schwiglhofer joins the BIS, after paying the 1952 subscription increase of 5s 9d. Oscar begins correspondence with BIS Secretary Len Carter about founding a spaceflight society in Scotland.

Sept.18th. Oscar writes to Post Office Supplies Dept., hoping to buy old wooden telephone kiosks to build a meeting hut. Had this been successful, we might have been able to say that the society began its meetings in a phone box.
