  8. To facilitate good relations between the renting clients and the members of the Club it is suggested that parking arrangements be discussed with the Bar Custodian. It is helpful if guests at the Club utilize the right side of the club parking lot, adjacent to The Lakeview Room entrance thus reducing the inconvenience of shuffling vehicles to enable members and/or guests to vacate the premises as they wish.  

All those renting the Austenville Owls Club premises shall read and acknowledge the Rental Regulations attached to the official Rental Agreement and a copy will be attached to the Rental Agreement provided by the Owls Club Rental/Bar Manager.
