S. Nyman

(???? -)

S. Nyman was a UK fan from Tottenham in London active in the 1930s. He had been an occasional visitor to the Ilford Science Literary Circle in 1930–31 and later became a member of the Science Fiction Association (SFA).

Wally Gillings wrote of the early days of UK fandom in 'The Clamourous Dreamers', published in New Futurian, edited by J. Michael Rosenblum. In its fourth installment, published in #4 (Spring 1955) he recalled:

... two curious visitors to the Ilford Circle. One of these was a well-remembered Mr. S. Nyman, of Tottenham, who had a habit of descending on my doorstep at Leyton somewhere about midnight, and who tried persistently, but in vain, to stir up interest in his locality.

Nyman became a member of the Science Fiction Association (SFA) in May 1937. He attended the inaugural meeting of the London branch on October 3, 1937, when according to Then:

He kept leaping to his feet with questions on the smallest point of order during the meeting and succeeded in irritating most of the others present.
