POWA Halloween Night, 31st October, 2026

Location: Beaumaris Community Centre

STOP!

WHOSE TURN IS IT?

OFF TO THE BLACK HOLE!

Or, if that’s too dark for you, the Beaumaris Community Centre for what appears to be the final event of the POWA Committee for this year.

With the date for Halloween lining up with the weekend perfectly, POWA is going to celebrate the holiday with the absolute classic Australian board game – “Nightmare”!

Using only the most advanced technology of the era – a VHS Tape – POWA intends for our members to join us on a journey through hell, guided by all the cheese one man in makeup and a hood can provide to us in a night!

Metaphors aside, Nightmare – also known as Atmosfear – is an Australian millennial classic board game, featuring fondly in memories world-wide. For a night of spoopy fun, we are going to bring it along to share with the group.

Nightmare is a relatively straightforward affair, so no need to look up instructions or guides, and it is a self-contained board game, so no need to bring your own kit. Now, the game does only support up to 6 players at a single time, but it is a game played on a timer – specifically, a one-hour timer, so multiple sessions are planned. 

But in the meantime, if you aren’t in on the Nightmare session, we do plan to bring (and encourage others to also bring) some other board games of a generally spoopy theme for us to all enjoy.

We have booked the Beaumaris Community Centre – featured previously in POWA events such as the Tabletop RPGs day and the Video Games day – from 4:15pm to midnight on Saturday, the 31st of October. We don’t necessarily plan to use the room for that entire time slot, but it was too good an opportunity to miss out on a midnight booking.

The event will be free entry, but we wont be offering food or drink for the event as we all plan to be playing games instead. You are of course encouraged to slip across the way to the IGA or food shops located at the Beaumaris Shopping Centre, though!

And finally, we also encourage people to dress up for the occasion! You, of course, absolutely dont need to dress up if you cant or dont want to, but if you have a cosplay gathering dust, feel free to put on that robe and wizard hat.

We hope to see you there!

Screenings

POWA Screening, 18th October, 2026

Got a bit of voting for POWA this week, just to spice things up in a way that makes it basically the same as usual for our screenings;

Firstly, the newest vote of our lineup gets a go with the very long named “The Genius Prince’s Guide to Raising a Nation out of Debt: How About Treason?” has its first vote, while our oldest (and much shorter named) series “Cowboy Bebop” has its second last vote, reaching episode 20. 

That all said, POWA has an upcoming AGM and Election. All the details for which can be found in that event, but if you are interested in being on the POWA Committee, we have also opened up nominations for a position. Reach out to us! 

We hope to see you there!

After a particularly busy weekend for POWA, we continue our lineup of regular anime – this time, with a full schedule and no being forced to delay!

We got across Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex’s first episode last week, and so it continues. Also continuing is our Drama series Ameku MD: Doctor Detective which, if youre keeping track, had its second and final vote that weekend.

This weekend brings us only one milestone; our Mature, Horror & Thriller series The Apothecary Diaries Season 2 has its second vote this weekend.
