The British Science Fiction Association was formed in the aftermath of Cytricon IV, the 1958 Eastercon. It continues to this day, the longest lived of the various attempts to create a national sf fan organisation. Many thousands of people have been members during that time with membership numbers exceeding 6,000 by the mid-2000s although the maximum number of members at any time seems to have been about 1,000 and usually below that.
It's obviously impossible to produce a list of everybody who's ever been a member, so the following are the names appearing in the first published membership list in Vector #2. The issue is dated 'Autumn 1958' and the list more explicitly 4 October. These people can be considered to be the founder members.
With the codes preceding the membership numbers, M = full member, A = under-18 associate member, O = overseas member and E = exchange member.
Links in red are being checked in case the person is here already under a variant name.
