Online POWA Screening, 30th October.

City of Joondalup is hosting a large event that made it too impractical to run our screening this weekend. So while we wont be meeting in person this Sunday, we are going to have a online screening instead.

Hosted through Discord, we are going to be screening a selection of shows from this current season of Anime – shows that we would otherwise not be able to watch for reasons at our regular seasonal preview (Currently scheduled for the 20th of November).

We will start this watchalong at 1:30pm, but do join early if you need to worry about setup. Metastream and screensharing will be used, but feel free to use your own screen or device as well.

The precise list of shows is still being decided and will, on the night, be open to input. We do suggest it will be a decent idea to have access to HiDive and its shows, though.

If you are not a member of our Discord, join it with the following link: https://discord.gg/jF4A4tn

Next month, the club’s Committee Year is also coming to an end, and thus we’ll be looking for new committee nominations! If you want to lead the club into the New Year, send an expression of interest email to powaclub@gmail.com to get more details. The election for our new Committee will take place on Sunday, November 6th at our AGM held in the Library.
If you’re interested in learning more before you put your name down, either ask a Committee Member or take a look at our Constitution and Election Regulation documents here.
