(???? – )
Ken Paynter was an Australian fan from Sydney active in the 1940s and 1950s. He was a member of the Futurian Society of Sydney, joining in March 1948 and becoming treasurer in July[1].
In May 1950 he went to the UK and attended Festivention in 1951. Ted Carnell reported that:
Ken Paynter, recently from Sydney, Australia, was one of two 'down under' delegates, and gave a humorous as well as an accurate account of the troubles and trials of Australian fans during the past few years. Ken was originally treasurer of the still-operating Sydney Futurians[2].
