The club newsletter saw its first publication as Dynastar the month after the club was officially founded. By the second issue, the newsletter had been renamed The Andromedan Log, which it has remained to this day. An annual club fanzine was planned, which was to feature fan fiction, poetry, filksongs and artwork contributed by the members and sold at regional conventions. This fanzine, called The Kelvan Outpost, appeared (apparently) four times between 1975 and 1982. Current club officers have no copies of any of the first three issues of The Kelvan Outpost, so if you are a former member of SBA who still owns any of these early issues, we'd really like to hear from you!
