If individuals need more set up time they must rent the space for additional time. Individuals must plan to clean up and remove all materials and vacate the room by the end of their rental time. There are usually many reservations and this will allow everyone to have a positive experience and stay on schedule. For bowling events individuals will use the gym or upstairs room first and then bowl. When individuals start to bowl they must remove everything from the room so that it can be setup for another event.
