Harold Peter "Sandy" Sanderson was a fan in the UK in the 1950s-1960s before moving to the US. In the late 1950s, he was a member of the intensely prolific Inchmery Fandom (along with Joy Clarke and Vincent Clarke). Inchmery Fandom broke up in 1960 when Joy Clarke dumped Vincent Clarke to marry and move to the US with Sanderson. (Clarke retained custody of their baby daughter, Nicki.)

He ran for TAFF in the midst of this, and lost to Eric Bentcliffe, no doubt at least partly due to bad publicity from the very public breakup, spread through Ex-Inchmery Fan Diary, Vin¢’s gafiation zine.

He published Aporrheta, Clause and Goontact (with Joy Clarke and Vincent Clarke for OMPA) and is also remembered for the hoax he perpetuated in the early ’50s with his creation of the Joan W. Carr persona.

His photo appears on page 150 of Warner's A Wealth of Fable (SCIFI, 1992)
