The Cymrades

The Cymrades were likely the first sf club in Wales. The name is derived from Cymru, the Welsh name for Wales.

While there were earlier known Welsh fans there is no evidence that any of them formed a group until Fred Robinson created The Cymrades in 1952 in Cardiff. Robinson was the only group member involved in fanzines or with any national profile; others were presumably general sf readers.

Robinson drifted away from fandom around 1954 and it seems The Cymrades faded with him.

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!
