At some point in the last two weeks, the large orange 2mx12m roll up mats were removed from the storage closet in HPER. To this point, club sports has been unable to determine where they are. They will be filing a police report and opening an official investigation. Hopefully it will lead to recovery of the mats and possibly felony grand theft charges if they are not voluntarily returned, since the value of these mats is in the thousands of dollars. If anyone has information about these mats or where they have gone, please contact me immediately, or if you prefer, Carrie in the club sports office or the UT Police. These mats are a critical part of the setup for our annual tournament, which is the martial arts club's primary fund raising activity. If we cannot locate them by next week, we are going to have to drive to Charlotte or Atlanta on Friday to load and truck mats back for our tournament Saturday, and spend Sunday driving them back to the point of origin. Also, as always, we really would appreciate any and all volunteers for setup on Friday the 16th from 5:30-8pm (or when we finish) and tournament workers and breakdown volunteers for Saturday the 17th, approximately 9am-7pm. Even if you can only make it for partial hours, we would really appreciate the help. Historically, this tournament has been a great success for all of us and we've relied heavily on the participation of all of the disciplines to make that happen. Please contact Angela Dautartas <[log in to unmask]> to let her know if/when you can volunteer. Instructors, I would appreciate it greatly if you could gather support for our event in your respective classes. Thanks for your help, Mike Takata
