Event Afternoon before JAFWA Screening

JAFWA has the hall from about 1PM to 4:30PM, where it is make our own amusement time.

Does anyone want hall space for nerf gun battles? Bring your own ping-pong? Table top games? Does anybody have their own game machine and games they want their fellow JAFWAites to play? JAFWA will bring out the projector and screen. I am not certain we have access to the outdoor area, but we will try to keep you off the street.
In the past people have brought along video games and the hardware to play them, and sewing machines for cosplay creating. What do you want to do? Just so long as it fun, legal, ethical, and we don’t scuff the floor of the Hall.

Screening on the evening of Saturday, March 29^th 2025

We come to the end of March (we have an extra week compared to February) at JAFWA and as our long time attendees are aware, we have a couple of special end-of-month activities.
First, during the Dinner Break we will have a survey on current and recent preview shows to determine their popularity in a scalar fashion.
Secondly, after the usual Door Prize draw (where you can buy extra tickets) we will have the monthly Member’s Prize draw (which gets you entries based on how many times you attended this month).

While we try and make JAFWA a pleasant experience for all, we should ask how can we make JAFWA better experience for you?

This week we have our regular program (minue “Re: Zero”) another series coming to an end (“That time I was Reincarnated as a Slime”), and a preview episode that shows the struggles of professional ice skating. Also this week we will Lord it over you with two episodes of “Overlord”.
Both Elliot and Greg have provided little 2 minute shows that you might be interested in.

If you don’t want to sponsor an entire night like Lindsay and Elliot both did last year, there is the other scheme for our signed up members. On the night nearest your birthday, as Greg and Sally did, you can nominate something to play during the Dinner Break (limited to 30 minutes max). You may have to help us source this material, so plan and inform us in advance please.

No JAFWA screening until Saturday 8^th February 2025!

As you have heard, there is no JAFWA this week, the first Saturday of March. Which is a pity as so many people turned up last session, both long timers and newcomers, so many that we ended up drawing 3 winners during the Door Prizes. It seems that the kami of anime were in favour of Collin, but in the end Karen just wanted it more.
BTW 22 February was known as Cat Day in Japan, as the date 22/2 can be pronounces as “nyan nyan nyan”, the onomatopoeia for a cat.

No JAFWA screening until Saturday 8^th February 2025!

As you have heard, there is no JAFWA this week, the first Saturday of February. Strangely enough the weather has been mostly clement (well, as pleasant as it can get in a Perth Summer) for the first two months of Summer, so here is hoping the 3^rd month of Summer completes the charm.
What we really want to be heated up for is the anime we watch at JAFWA. So far our attendees have a rather positive view of the anime program, and I got the impression that the preview episode of “365 Days to the Wedding” was particularly enjoyed. Never fear, more previews in February. Apologies for the communication snafu from last week, it turned out that we did not have a Survey to complete in January.

If you don’t want to sponsor an entire night like both Lindsay and Elliot did last year, there is the other scheme for our signed up members. On the night nearest your birthday, as Greg and Sally did, you can nominate something to play during the Dinner Break (limited to 30 minutes max). You may have to help us source this material, so plan and inform us in advance please.
