All praise to our new (old) JAFWA committee overlords
We had a successful AGM, and due to lack of anybody else nominating, a non-election for the JAFWA committee. So your beloved committee members continue to be Drew, Glenn, Mark, Sally, Dale and Greg.

The gap in the program caused by the end of “Cells At Work” will be filled in August with a new regular series. This week, we will have not one, not two, but three preview episodes to whet your appetite for the cultural profundity of anime. A slice of life, a robot’s battle against destiny, and steampunk vampires – what more can you ask for?
And we might even manage to sneak in a bonus item.

Japanese 2022 calendars are starting to show up for pre-order. Anybody interested in being part of a bulk order this year?

Covid-19 Safety Precautions

We continue taking precautions to limit the possible future waves of CoVid-19, and we ask that you co-operate and even help where possible with our efforts to keep you safe – some social distancing, extra cleaning with antiseptic, library under limited access, etc. Also, we must ask that anyone unfortunate enough to be infected to not attend JAFWA until they are contagion free.
– Help is always welcome during set-up and pack-up due to the extra duties imposed by COVID-19 precautions.
– Please arrive early to confirm personal details due to COVID 19 regulations. There will be Contract Tracing, either by the SafeWA app on your keitai (mobile phones), or by signing in at the contact tracing sheet near the entry.

Below is the tentative program for the evening of Saturday July 24^th, 2021.

Come all ye wonderful (yet masked) JAFWA members, for this is the final week to nominate for the upcoming annual JAFWA election (see below) and join the committee, in order to steer JAFWA towards its glorious future. Decide upon your election strategies, such as suggesting that there are too many isekai shows in the current program. Nominees will be invited to the next JAFWA committee meeting to see how it is done.

Though, thanks to WA fighting off the Pandemic, there won’t be much in the way of limitations on how many people can attend JAFWA this week. There is less need to advise that you arrive early to ensure one of our numerous seats (or even one of the bean bags). We are being optimistic that West Australians will avoid further lockdowns (however facemasks and sanitising will still be required).

It will be the usual program, minus one regular item to allow us to preview a first episode of a new and interesting anime. Inadvertent time travel to prevent a tragedy and defeat crime.

The JAFWA committee hopes to see you at the AGM to discuss the progress of your club, and looks forward to any new blood and ideas for the future of JAFWA.

This is it, the start of the official nomination period for the upcoming annual JAFWA election for the committee (see below). Already Audrey is preparing her platform around the assertion that there is too many isekai shows in the current program. Do you support her? Do you oppose this assertion?

It was a very successful Sausage sizzle we had at Bunnings Cannington last Saturday. Many thanks to everyone who participated. In the afternoon Sally was our chef extraordinaire, and she hopes to share her skills this week at JAFWA with a sausage mini-sizzle for all our attendees. Unless you are extremely vegan, you do not want to miss out on a sausage-in-a-bun cooked by Sally.

June gets off to a good start at JAFWA, as we have managed to sneak in one of the movies from our cancelled marathon screening in April. This is the sequesl to the TV series we screened at JAFWA a few years back, for those who you who have fond memories.

Event Afternoon before JAFWA Screening

JAFWA has the hall from about 1:00PM to 4:30PM, where it is make our own amusement time.

Does anybody have their own game machine and games they want their fellow JAFWAites to play? JAFWA will bring out the projector and screen, and see if your game machine can plug into it. 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 evening of May 29^th 2021, after the Event Afternoon

May continues to be a wonderful month for watching anime at JAFWA, even with all the inclement weather we had last week. There is just something special about watching you favourite anime, with a Hall full of fellow otaku just outside of social distancing reach.
All the new series we were intending starting this month, have premiered. We apologise so many of them are isekai and 2^nd seasons of a series we have already screened, that was just how people voted in the special survey.
This being the last JAFWA session in May, do recall that we will have this week the usual end of month Survey, along with the Member’s Prize draw.

Quite a few of out members are sad at the news that Kentrou Miura has passed away suddenly, without the chance to finish his very popular manga “Berserk”.

Bunnings Cannington Sausage Sizzle

One of JAFWA’s main fundraisers is coming up on the 5th of June, and we need your support. If you are interested in Volunteering to help JAFWA’s Bunnings Sausage Sizzle, please let the committee know ASAP. It’s a five-person shift, either from 8:00am to 12:00pm, and 12:00pm to 4:00pm or possibly later if permitted.
