September 2019 – Page 2 – POWA Anime Club Joondalup WA

One of POWAs sponsors, the model kit workshop Little Robot, is letting us have a kit-bash event at their store!

Kit-bashing, for those not in the know, is the delicate art of taking a whole bunch of parts from a whole bunch of different, but compatible, GUNPLA kits, and… bashing them together to create something awesome, weird, or weirdly awesome. With just a little bit of elbow grease, creativity, and fevered imagination, you can have the opportunity to create something completely unique.

POWA Will even be running our own little competition – the attendee who creates the greatest model at the end of the event, as decided by the attendees, will walk away with $40 in store credit!

Little Robot, locally owned and operated, offers a huge range of Gundam, Mecha, Sci-Fi and Anime model kits, and prides itself on its role in their support of local anime clubs, events and other community groups in Perth. They have been a sponsor of POWA for a long time now, providing us with stock for events and discounts for our members – details of which can be found on the sponsors page on the POWAClub website.

This is event is scheduled for a 2PM start at their Myaree store, and will run for approximately 3 hours. Entry to this event will be $15 – but will also net you a Kit, access and introduction to the bashing set, and a guided build session with one of the store Builders.

Since Little Robot’s store is a little bit further away than most POWA event locations, we will be investigating some ride share options – if you are interested in catching a ride from someone in the POWA Community, make sure you follow the event and arrive at our regular screening on the 8th for details.

We hope to see you there!

Details for the Facebook event can be found here.

Location: ECU Joondalup Room 7.101

No big surprises this week at POWA, as we return to our standard time without any horrific last minute changes of plans! Promise!

A special thanks to everyone who came down to our RPGs event last session, though – it was something new for POWA, so if you had fun or have any niggles about how it was run, let us know. Feedback is important, especially if people want us to run events like it in the future. Special shoutout goes to those who created and hosted the games – Jareth, Leigh and Tom. Without their work, we would not have been able to run the event.

On the anime front, we continued our new Comedy series, Hinamatsuri, and voted to keep our newer Chill out, Laid-Back Camp, in our line-up after its first vote. Our Action slot, Assassination Classroom, successfully passed its episode 16 vote – and as it is a 22 episode series, Assassination Classroom will remain in our line-up to its conclusion.

This weeks screening brings its share of voting – our Sci-Fi, Princess Principal, reaches its second and final vote, while our Drama, The Ancient Magus Bride, reaches its halfway point and third vote.

Remember that you need an active POWA Membership to hold the right to cast a vote – if your membership has expired, or you wish to purchase it for the first time, please do so at the event.

We will be using room 7.101 at ECU Joondalup. Doors will open at 2:30, with the screening to start at 3:00. Drinks, Snacks and POWA Membership will be all available for purchase during the event.

We hope to see you there!
