| − | '''Nuneaton''' is a town in the English county of Warwickshire to the east of [[Birmingham]]. In [[fannish]] terms it's significant for its role in the early days of [[UK]] [[fandom]] as the home of the 22nd (and third British) chapter of the [[Science Fiction League]]. Founded in 1935, its members included [[Maurice K. Hanson]], [[Dennis Jacques]], [[Maurice T. Crowley]], [[J. E. Barnes]] and [[P. W. Buckerfield]] and, slightly later, [[D. R. Smith]]. Their [[clubzine]] was ''[[Novae Terrae]]'', the first British [[fanzine]]. They also published the ''[[Bulletin of the Nuneaton Science Fiction League]]''.

Essam]] attended a meeting in March 1937 and had she joined she'd have been the SFA's first female member.
