Its a pity that what I said was the last thing said at the meeting, since I think its a discussion that could and should be gone into in depth.
As for pre-60s British space opera I can give some suggestions. From the quality end of the market, might I suggest Stapleton and Wells, while on the pulpier side, we have the likes of Ken Bulmer and all the Badger Books people. Their work might not have survived, but I doubt it was more poorly written than EE Doc Smith et al. Not that I'm an expert on them!
