Segel Weyr was an official Dragonriders of Pern roleplay fanclub. A 1983 ad in Harper Beat called its quarterly newsletter Blowing Off Steam, while Out of the Blue #11 (1992) calls it Far Eastern Flash. The Harper Beat ad mentions two smaller Pern zines called The History of Segel Weyr and The History of Western Snows Weyr. It also published two Star Wars saga zines called Foxfire and And So It Has Ended, and a zine called Spooks in an unknown fandom.

Segel Weyr had roughly 50 members in 1983, when it was advertised in the back of Harper Beat issue #8. According to the advertisement, official colors varied according to Wing, and the club was open to members worldwide. By 1992, Out of the Blue would describe the club as based mostly in the Far Eastern US.
