Phil Hetherington

(???? –)

Phillip S. Hetherington was a UK fan from Manchester active in the 1930s and 1940s and possibly later. He attended the Third British Convention in London in 1939 and was a member of the Manchester branch of the Science Fiction Association (SFA) and of the British Fantasy Library (BFL).

Hetherington had a letter published in Astounding Stories, August 1934, from an address in Carlisle, Cumbria. He was present at the inaugural meeting of the Manchester SFA branch on May 22, 1938 where he was noted as being in a 'scientific argument between Messrs. Clarke, Mayer & Hetherington that lasted intermittently until the meeting broke up'.

In October 1939 he contributed 'Credo of a "Tory"' to Sam Youd's Fantast #7. It provoked Harry Turner's 'Creed of an Atheist' in #9, published in March 1941.

In J. Michael Rosenblum's Directory of Anglo-Fandom (1945) he is noted as resident in Cumbria but 'not in touch at the present moment'. He was however a member of the BFL in the late 1940s and a 'P. S. Hetherington, Chorley' is noted as a member of the Necon in 1951 although he seemingly did not attend. He did however attend Festivention in 1951.
