My Runner Is Faster Than Yours

[Dave]

Hey folks:

I've been kicking a couple of cans around with a few folks, and I'm wondering if there's any interest in restarting, at least, the StarRise Territory wing of the Jockey Club of Pern?

[Hope]

Dave--go for it.

If you race, they will come!

Dear Dave--In a word, YES!!!!

I miss the Jockey Club of Pern.

Although I was never a member of the JCoP, I've been around long enough to recall it. Whether I recall correctly is another matter... it was part fantasy racing league, part writing group. Member characters owned, bred, and raced runners; the records were kept on computer, and race results were determined by a program that took numerous factors into account. Stories would involve anything related to runners or racing, from birthings to auctions to races and more. I don't remember if the Jockey Club had its own 'zine, but stories were published in various Weyr 'zines all the same.

I would certainly be interested in participating if it's revived.

Deb has the program and she's offered to share it if there was enough interest. I don't know how often Dave checks the forums, but when I next see him online, I'll let him know there are at least 3 or 4 interested!
