Announcements – POWA Anime Club Joondalup WA

POWA Lazy Week, 29th March, 2026

Location: Joondalup Library, Upstairs Meeting Room

Hey, did you know that OzComicCon is on this weekend?

Well, OzComicCon is on this weekend. In the previous experience of POWA, we have learnt two things: 1) People want to go to conventions, B) People want to go to POWA, iii) People struggle to divide like some kind of amoeba to attend pop culture conventions and anime clubs at the same time.

Sooo, we are having a bit of an easy week.

We arent doing our regular schedule this week, is what we are saying. No, instead, POWA still has our usual room booked at the Joondalup Library, but are taking an easy, casual time of it – we have no real set-in-stone plans, but encourage people who arent hitting the comics to come along and just chill. Anime is a likely appearance – as are some board games, and we encourage people to bring portable consoles if you want to get something running. POWA does have access to both projectors in the meeting rooms, after all…

This event will be 100% free – and there will be no raffle prize as a result. POWA will also not be promising our normal shop services – no snacks or drinks, nor membership renewals, that kinda things – so that its even easier on us all.

Doors open when the Library does, and doors close with the Library’s – that is, 1:00pm to 5:00pm.

We hope to see you there, or otherwise, hope to hear you enjoy the convention!

POWA AGM & Committee Election, 16th November, 2025

Please Note: This is not a regular screening open to the public! This is a closed door meeting for POWA Membership only. If you have not got POWA membership and would like to attend, please inform us prior to the meeting so we can be ready to make you a member before we start! If you are not a member, but still wish to attend, you may ask a committee member for permission – though you will still not be permitted to speak, discuss, vote or raise topics during the meeting or election. There will be no entertainment during this meeting!

POWA reaches the end of its 2024/2025 committee year this weekend. As such, it’s back to our own little polls for the chance for the POWA membership to decide on the running committee for the 2025/2026 year!

Before we get to that, though, POWA will be holding the 2025 Annual General Meeting.

This will be much like a greater length quarterly General Meeting with a general focus on major activities, events and milestones for the club, as well as a general catch up on everything from club relationships to our finances.

The agenda for this GM can be viewed on this link.

Towards the end of the AGM, we will also be hosting our election.

If you are interested in nominating yourself for the POWA committee, there are a few steps you need to do; First, ensure you have active POWA membership, and second, email us your name and a clear statement of intent to be on the POWA committee at POWAClub@gmail.com.

There will be an opportunity for you to self-nominate on the day, prior to the election, but there may be additional steps for you to take if you do so.

If you wish to vote at this meeting, but are unable to attend, you may nominate a proxy on your behalf. This will need to be done in writing at least 24 hours prior to the AGM and Election, but they will be able to act on your behalf during the AGM and the Election.

If you are nominated for the committee, but are unable to attend, please inform the POWA committee as soon as practical, so we may take additional measures to ensure a fair election.
