The first incarnation of the British Fantasy Society (BFS) ran from 1942–1946 and had between 125 and 132 members through to August 1946 when the last update was reported in British Fantasy Society Bulletin #27.
The uncertainty arises because there are 132 membership numbers but only 125 known members. There are some gaps in the sequential numbering (112-118, 128, 129, 131) and one of these is likely occupied by Frederick V. Giles who's membership number isn't recorded. Walt Dunkelberger and Bill Watson were given honorary memberships and these may occupy two more of the otherwise vacant numbers.

The final issue of the BFS bulletin was published in November 1946 but a copy hasn't been located and so we don't know if there were any more last minute members before the Society dissolved.
Club | 1942—1946 |
This is a club page. Please extend it by adding information about when and where the club met, when and by whom it was founded, how long it was active, notable accomplishments, well-known members, clubzines, any conventions it ran, external links to the club's website, other club pages, etc.
When there's a floreat (Fl.), this indicates the time or times for which we have found evidence that the club existed. This is probably not going to represent the club's full lifetime, so please update it if you can! |
If applicable, please include category Asia, Australia, Canada, Europe, Ireland, NZ, UK, US, ROW or World.
