(Did you mean the clubzine?)

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

J. Michael Rosenblum reviewed it in Futurian War Digest #34:

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.

Note: There was also a title Gemini Special by Lane with at least its first two issues in 1944. Was this a separate publication?
