POWA is an anime club that meets weekly at the Joondalup Library to watch anime and meet new people of similar hobbies at 1PM Sundays.
POWA is currently assessing our current situation and making some changes to our club’s structure. Members are invited to contact the community through the “contact us” form for immediate details, and all are invited to follow us on our social networks for information as it arrises.
Something colossal is rising from the depths… The King of the Monsters is back!
The sequel to the excellent “Godzilla: Minus One” from 2023 is in Cinemas November 5th – and POWA wants to see it.
But when? Where? Well, you decide; below is a link to a poll. The times of the film’s screenings at several locations, on different days, and plenty of times make up this poll. By selection your options, we narrow down an answer.
Location: Joondalup Library, Upstairs Meeting Room
Christmas is back in the shops, but not quite among us at POWA as of yet, though our time at the club this year nearly is.
To recap last week is an easy thing; unlike Wayne’s attempts to get his retirement sorted in “Genius Prince’s Guide to Raising a Nation out of Debt: How About Treason?”, which is something I bring up only so i can then say we reached episode 4 last weekend, and therefore, had a vote – which it passed.
“Cowboy Bebop”, which had a rather creepy clown manbaby serial killer guy in it that is much harder to segway into, also reached a milestone outside of a new height of “Weird” and “What was this episode about again?” when it reached episode 20 and, to the joy of fans of the show everywhere, passed its required vote.
And beyond the Space Scifi series we have on, we also have our Cyberpunk grimdark future of 2030 as seen in “Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex” on episode 4, getting its shot at the serial killer that is our voting base.
That all said, POWA has an upcoming AGM and Election. All the details for which can be found in that event, but if you are interested in being on the POWA Committee, we have also opened up nominations for a position. Reach out to us!
We hope to see you there!

STOP!
WHOSE TURN IS IT?
OFF TO THE BLACK HOLE!
Or, if that’s too dark for you, the Beaumaris Community Centre for what appears to be the final event of the POWA Committee for this year.
With the date for Halloween lining up with the weekend perfectly, POWA is going to celebrate the holiday with the absolute classic Australian board game – “Nightmare”!
Using only the most advanced technology of the era – a VHS Tape – POWA intends for our members to join us on a journey through hell, guided by all the cheese one man in makeup and a hood can provide to us in a night!
Metaphors aside, Nightmare – also known as Atmosfear – is an Australian millennial classic board game, featuring fondly in memories world-wide. For a night of spoopy fun, we are going to bring it along to share with the group.
Nightmare is a relatively straightforward affair, so no need to look up instructions or guides, and it is a self-contained board game, so no need to bring your own kit. Now, the game does only support up to 6 players at a single time, but it is a game played on a timer – specifically, a one-hour timer, so multiple sessions are planned.
But in the meantime, if you aren’t in on the Nightmare session, we do plan to bring (and encourage others to also bring) some other board games of a generally spoopy theme for us to all enjoy.
We have booked the Beaumaris Community Centre – featured previously in POWA events such as the Tabletop RPGs day and the Video Games day – from 4:15pm to midnight on Saturday, the 31st of October. We don’t necessarily plan to use the room for that entire time slot, but it was too good an opportunity to miss out on a midnight booking.
The event will be free entry, but we wont be offering food or drink for the event as we all plan to be playing games instead. You are of course encouraged to slip across the way to the IGA or food shops located at the Beaumaris Shopping Centre, though!
And finally, we also encourage people to dress up for the occasion! You, of course, absolutely dont need to dress up if you cant or dont want to, but if you have a cosplay gathering dust, feel free to put on that robe and wizard hat.
We hope to see you there!
