CELEBRATION DINNER RESERVATIONS

 Click here for the seating chart.

   You may now select your table or booth for the TPC Celebration Dinner, 7/25 at Club Madrid, inside Sunset Station.  The ONLY way to do this is to email us at director@bowljbt.com with your table choice. 

  Tables seat 10 and booths seat 4.  There are no bad seats in the house, all have a clear view of the stage.  Note that table 3 cannot be reserved at this time. 

   Check out the reservations already made and let us know what you’d like.  All seats in the building will need to be filled, so if you have a party of 9, know that is awkward and seat 10 will be filled.

    Because we have a (very expensive) contract to fulfill with Sunset, your reservation will be locked on July 1.  If you cancel or drop down after that, I’m sorry to say we’ll have to charge you for the seat, unless we can get it filled.  Please plan accordingly.

    Requests for the same table or booth will of course be taken in the order received, sorted down to the second so there’s no arguments.  Please double check when we’ve posted your request that it matches exactly what you want.

    There is no ‘dress code’- but ‘dressing up’, especially for the kids, is very much encouraged, and most do- the event has been nicknamed ‘bowling prom’.  Check out previous pictures or talk to families that have gone before for a good idea of how it goes.   We look forward to a fun evening!
