Screening on the evening of September 18th 2021

Remenber that we have returned to holding JAFWA sessions starting at 5:15PM. Mainly due to our old enemy the sun, trying to once more take ascendency in the sky. Though we haven’t yet quite reached the Equinox.

This week we shall be organising a formal poll of your ideas regarding our grand experiment of starting (and ending) an hour earlier in August, and the possibility of a permanent change to our Winter operating hours.

We start a couple of new series tonight, so it is the perfect time to bring along friends and introduce them to JAFWA.
