(???? – )
Arthur Cook was a fan from Blackburn active in the 1950s. He was a member of Operation Fantast and in 1953 expressed interest in forming a local group – which came to nothing for which see below – and was seeking correspondents interested in 'science, sf, fantasy, ESP and psychology'. He attended the Supermancon in 1954. In a letter in Alpha #5 (August 1954):
A while ago I tried, without success,to find some local fans to form a local club. Studying whether to make it a memberless club, or rather, one member. Maybe it would attract more local attention. Sent in a report of the first meeting to the papers. No membership quoted? Been at the con this weekend, and had an enjoyable time. This being the first personal contacts I had made with some of the shining lights of Anglofandom. I'll spare you a report. You'll be getting plenty from others better able to paint a picture of the proceedings...
