Lessons are held at Don Carter Lanes but I'm absolutely flexable and am willing to travel to Park Lanes, The Cherry Bowl, or B&B Lanes. Travel outside of those alley's can be arranged but an additional travel cost will be incurred and the prices covered in the lane fees area may not be reflected since each alley has it's own rate.
