Eric Mendum was a UK fan probably from London and active in the mid-1940s. He was a member of the Cosmos Club (CSC).
In Futurian War Digest #28 (May 1943), E. Frank Parker reported as CSC meeting:

Results were sometimes startling – and often the right article was named at the wrong moment in time ... Card tests weren't so successful, but the assembled company managed to think thought-reading member Mendum into walking into a table.
