At last, we have received our new mats!
We now have 48 Shogun Supermats, thanks to a grant from Sport England Small Grants Programme.
We’d like to thank all the people who came to the dojo at 8am, ready to help unloading the mats. It was much appreciated.
After 2 hours wait enjoying a continental breakfast, everybody sprung into action when the delivery vab arrived. The specially made gingerbread “mat biscuits” may have help boost energy (thanks Yvette). Once the mats unloaded and laid down, we had just enough time for a short inaugural training session.
I would also take the opportunity to thank Richard Scopes from the Dover Bushido Judo Club who let us use their mats for the last 2 years.

So we did it!
Genryukan Aikido performed their 100 ukemi for SAGA Charitable Trust. A massive thank you to all those who sponsored us. With your help we are helping to provide 2000 villagers in Zambia with a permanent fresh water supply.
Tom, as our resident masochist, decided he would do 200 ukemi. I think after about 130, he started to regret having had the idea. However, he battled on and finished.
Well done to everyone involved.
