Gemini

Did you mean the clubzine?

Gemini was a fanzine published by Ron Lane in the UK in the 1940s.

In Futurian War Digest #33, J. Michael Rosenblum said that Gemini would be forthcoming from the 'Manchester "Twins"', Lane and Ron Bradbury. When he reviewed it in #34 it was from Lane alone:

New British fan magazine to make its appearance recently is Gemini, put out by Ron Lane, 22 Beresford Road, Manchester. The issues are a little involved; issue the first being all ready except for its cover which was to be a lino block cut, and was farmed out for actual execution. Meanwhile Ron, in fear of an almost immediate call-up, hastily prepared and published a second issue, which appeared in early February. Since then a third (second?) issue has been practically finished and should be out about the same time as this Fido. This latest issue is a tremendous improvement on the first published, in style, quality and format. Contents include an essay on Weinbaum by Arthur Hillman, Ann Gardiner on education, the new 'Sixth Column' by the 'Pink Lensman', a letter section, and a photograph taken at the Manchester New Year convention.

The British Fanzine Bibliography says that if #1 ever appeared it was likely after #3 which was itself misnumbered #2. It includes something called Rubaiyat between #3 and #4 and adds Gemini Special at the end of the run. Presumably it has good reasons for all of these conclusions.
