Screenings

When

JAFWA meets every Saturday, except for the first Saturday in each month or when indicated otherwise. The screening usually starts at 5:15 pm, with doors opening at 5:00pm, and finishes around 10:30 pm. Please check the program for any changes to dates and times.

The dinner break starts at 6:30pm and finishes at 7:30pm. During the dinner break Anime Music Videos (AMVs) or other special items are shown. At the end of the dinner break public announcements are made and the door and members prizes are drawn.

There is also a late break at around 9:15pm for about 10 minutes before the screening continues.

The meetings are usually held in the Jones Lecture Theater in Curtin University, Bentley campus.

The main entrance of the University is located on Kent Street in Bentley.

The campus map shows the location of the building where the meetings are held and available parking areas. Disabled parking is available right next to the building.

Disabled parking is available right next to the Ken Hall Lecture Theater (Building 403). To get there enter car park 24 and drive up the access road at the top left of the car park (to the left of the construction site).

Public Transport

Curtin University can be reached using bus route 34, 72, and 98/99.

Some of the routes have their last service at Curtin University before JAFWA finishes its meetings. Therefore, check the timetable for the route you are using or you might get stranded at the University.

Please confirm the times the bus leaves Curtin University with Transperth on their website atwww.transperth.wa.gov.au or call Transperth Infoline on 13 62 13.

Entry Conditions

JAFWA meetings are held at times when the University is usually closed. Therefore, University security does not look kindly on people who are wandering around the University. Please remain close to the theater when attending the JAFWA meeting otherwise you will be in trouble with security and JAFWA might no longer be permitted to have its meetings at the University.

When attending the meeting a certain standard of behavior is expected. This means no fighting, including food fights, climbing trees, playing with the water and otherwise fooling around.

JAFWA meetings are an alcohol free event and the consumption of alcohol during the meeting is not permitted. If you are caught drinking an alcoholic beverage you will be asked to leave.

The consumption of food and drinks in the theater are not permitted by University rules but JAFWA has been granted an exception provided that the theater is left in a clean condition. Rubbish bags and bins are provided to put your rubbish in. Please clean up any mess you make otherwise the permission to eat and drink in the theater will be withdrawn.

Age Restrictions

The items shown at the screenings are not rated by the Australian Board of Censors. This is due to the fact that these shows are unavailable in Australia. As such, we have classified our shows based on the Australian rating system and the judgment of the JAFWA Board.

The items shown at the start of the screening have ‘G’ or ‘PG’ ratings. The later shows have ratings that range from ‘PG’, ‘M’ to ‘MA’.

We rarely show ‘R’ rated material, but when we do, it is done in good taste and is programmed to be the last item for the night. Please note that such shows are clearly marked on our program schedule, and persons under 18 years of age shall be asked to leave before the screening of such material.

• Vending Machines
  There are soft dink, snacks and coffee/tea vending machines readily available in Curtin either in the same building as the theatre or close by.
   
• Fast Food & Take Away
  There are various fast food and take away food places, including a Japanese Take Away, in close proximity to the University. Most of them are at the corner of Manning Road and Kent Street (near the shopping centre) in Karawara.

 

Fees

It would be nice if the meetings were free but JAFWA has to pay for the hire of the theater and equipment, and there are some running costs involved as well.

The entry fee paid also entitles you to take part in the door prize raffle held near the end of the dinner break (~7:15pm). You have to be at the drawing to collect your prize.
