Location: Joondalup Library, Upstairs Meeting Room

Time for another slow and easy weekend for POWA – this time due to the most matronly of days, Mothers Day. 

Under the assumption that at last a couple of our regulars might be wanting to spend time with the family this Sunday, POWA has decided to once again not screen our regular lineup. 

But for those who don’t have other plans, or their schedules don’t conflict nearly as badly, at least some of us will still be meeting at the Joondalup Library meeting rooms. 

There is no real major plan or schedule in place – we have both projectors, some of us are bringing consoles (At least one Steam Deck and Switch 2 will be present) and there will be a whoooooole bunch of board games on offer as well. 

There is no shop, entry or raffle on offer though/either, simply because we are lazy and it is the week to be so. 

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, have a nice weekend!

Hey, did we ever tell you about that time we went to see a film about someone who was reincarnated in another world?

…If we had a nickel…

Well, this time its for an outing to see the Slime Isekai’s latest film – and lead into what appears to be the final season of the anime – in “Tears of the Azure Sea”!

We are going to be seeing the film at Event Cinemas Inalloo on Friday, 1st of May, at 9:00pm. 

As always, POWA cannot guarantee seats in the cinema, so if you are late or the film is stupid popular, you might not get a ticket and a chair in the theatre. You are to feel free to purchase your ticket in advance, naturally. Similarly, if you’re late, you might have trouble finding the group and getting snacks and drinks, so we suggest everyone rock up early enough to beat the odds and meet up with the group. 

What’s this one about? Well, here’s the description pinched from someone else who wrote it:

“Kaien is an undersea nation whose people worship the Water Dragon as their guardian deity. Their ancestors lived among other clans on the surface long ago, but after wandering the earth in search of a land of peace and stability, they were blessed by the Water Dragon with a kingdom free of conflict. However, that peace would not last forever. Yura, the priestess who prays to the long-dormant Water Dragon, learns that someone is plotting to invade the surface in order to wake the Water Dragon, so she takes the flute that has been passed down in her clan for generations and heads for the surface to seek aid. When she arrives, she finds herself on a resort island in the domain of Elmesia, empress of the Sorcerous Dynasty of Thalion, and she meets Rimuru and his compatriots, who are enjoying a brief vacation after concluding their Nation’s Opening Festival. Rimuru’s gang accepts Elmesia’s request to accompany Yura to Kaien so they can help, but a conspiracy is already brewing under the sea… After the Water Dragon is awakened and turmoil breaks out over the flute, Yura’s hidden power comes to light. Can Rimuru and company protect the azure sea from the approaching threat and restore peace to Kaien?”

We hope to see you there!
