Sanditon Race Weekend — July 24th-26th
After failing to do so for the entire month of June, I finally have this event ready to roll—huzzah!
What is a race, though, without its competitors?
THE PARTICIPANTS: Strictly speaking, anyone can, but it would not be appropriate for genteel ladies, and it would be finanically irresponsible for WC folks.
THE PRIZE: Glory, and a bronze, living statuette of a hipporgriff that may or may not be judging you at any given moment.
THE METHODOLOGY:
THE PRIZE: Ribbons for the top three jockeys (max fifteen). 100G for the owner of the winning hippogriff, which is nothing to sneeze at.
