  The first results from commissioning EMMA - the Electron Model of Many Applications- are summarised in this paper. EMMA is a 10 to 20 MeV electron ring designed to test our understanding of beam dynamics in a relativistic linear non-scaling fixed field alternating gradient accelerator (FFAG). EMMA will be the world's first non-scaling FFAG and the paper will outline the characteristics of the beam injected in to the accelerator as well as summarising the results of the 4 sector 'gantry-type' commissioning which took place at Daresbury Laboratory. The paper will report on recent progress made with the full EMMA ring commissioning, giving details of tune and orbit measurements as well as their correction to the desired lattice.
