There were eight of us on the new mat.  It isn’t the full 900 sq ft yet, but we were able to practice easily without falling into each other.  While it requires more awareness, this is actually good for developing spacial awareness.

We need to finish laying the mat and remove the excess foam, then we will be able to paint the walls.  Then we can put up the weapons racks again, and it is basically finished.  Then we need to schedule the spring seminar.
