I wasn't there, and I have not joined Fanderson. However, I did meet Philip Rae a couple of times, at a sci fi fan shop (called 'Telefan') in Manchester, in the mid 80s, and used to collect the S.I.G. magazine, which is referred to in the document.
Yes the late Dave Nightengale's SiG was really great Mish. I bought a bundle about 15 years ago and really enjoyed reading them. Dave did a superb job when fandom was in its infancy. I also got a few Anderpup fanzines, it's competition. Anderpup lost out. No idea what became of the guy that published Anderpup.
