POWA Board Games Day, 9th August, 2025

Location: Joondalup Library, Ground Floor Meeting Room

POWAs constantly delayed and oft promised Board Games Day is happening!

No, really, this time for sure.

Starting at doors open, 9:30pm, at Joondalup Library on Saturday the 9th (Yes, Saturday, not Sunday) – in the downstairs meeting room (which is not the upstairs meeting rooms, hope you’re all keeping track) and hoping to play board games until the Librarians start to get upset with us/make us leave at library close (which is 4:00pm.)

So, POWA invites all those who are interested or know someone who is interested in board games to show up at the Library for a day of card flipping and dice rolling! 

As the inaugural event of this very-definitely-quarterly-we-swear event, this board games day will be a free-for-all event. That is to say, if you’ve got a board game to play, bring it along!

There won’t be any overarching theme beyond those words – “Board Game” – so if you got something you reckon fits that bill, it fits that bill.

If you are planning on bringing a game that is a liiiiitle bit more complex than what could be explained to a group of people who are only paying half attention at the time, we do recommend you get word out beforehand – let people know that you’re planning a board game from hell, maybe link a few youtube tutorials, that kind of thing. 

Entry to this event will be free. POWA will also not be selling food or drink at this event – while the library does offer water bubblers and have vending machines, if you seek something a bit more tasty or filling, feel free to run for lunch!

Finally, do note that POWA’s screening for the weekend – on the 10th – will still run, so those who think that their weekends simply don’t have enough POWA will finally learn that there can be too much POWA. Or still not enough. Up to you.

We hope to see you there!


9:30am – Doors Open

3:30pm – Pack up

POWA Screening, July 27th, 2025

Location: Joondalup Library, Upstairs Meeting Room

Note: POWA is attending Evolve Expo this year. If you want to volunteer at POWA’s table, write in to POWA with your own nomination!

POWA seeks a new show this week! SpyxFamily, having aired in two separate parts, means that after we reached episode 12 this past week that it is time to give another Action & Sports series a shot in our lineup!

While POWA flexes shoulders for that run of voting, we do get some warmups in two continuation votes – Bartender: The Glass of God, our recently elected Drama, reaches its first, episode 4 vote, while our Scifi series, ID:Invaded, reaches its final, Episode 12 vote. As always, check memberships prior to the screening just in case you need to renew!

Entry for our weekly screenings is $4 for members and $5 for guests – However, your first time is free! Every entry prior to our break receives a raffle ticket for a weekly prize. We will be in the upstairs meeting rooms of the City of Joondalup Library. Our doors will open at the same time as the library – 1:00PM – and we will start screening at 1:30PM, leaving you time to find the room and settle down with some drinks and snacks.

We hope to see you there!


This week’s schedule:

1:00 – Doors Open 

1:30 – Kakushigoto – Episode 10 (Comedy)

POWA Screening, 20th July, 2025

Location: Joondalup Library, Upstairs Meeting Room

Did everyone enjoy the Summer seasonal preview? It seems like the general mood is that sleeper hits might abound this season! 

But for the moment, this event is… mostly… about our regular lineup. 

To recap last time we screened – our Comedy, Kakushigoto had its second (And last) vote, which it passed, and the tonal opposite, our Mature, Horror & Thriller, Vinland Saga, reached its 12 episode and its roughly half-way point, got voted on, and passed. This week to come brings no voting, though… but it is the Finale of Part 1 of SpyxFamily! Since it aired in two separate halves, POWA treats it as two separate seasons – meaning that we get to vote on a new Action & Sports series – or to continue SpyxFamily, should that be what the POWA membership wishes!

Now, there’s a bit of a bonus this week – due to unforeseen circumstances, POWA was unable to host any kind of post-seasonal-preview “After Party” that is usually hosted online, after POWA’s seasonal preview screenings, where we group watch some more of the shows we couldn’t watch at POWA itself. After a quick poll, that “After Party” will be hosted after this week’s event instead – if you’re interested, make sure you join our Discord ahead of time and join the shared stream – no need to buy your own way into a streaming service if you don’t want to!

Entry for our weekly screenings is $4 for members and $5 for guests – However, your first time is free! Every entry prior to our break receives a raffle ticket for a weekly prize. We will be in the upstairs meeting rooms of the City of Joondalup Library. Our doors will open at the same time as the library – 1:00PM – and we will start screening at 1:30PM, leaving you time to find the room and settle down with some drinks and snacks.

We hope to see you there!
