I strongly believe that the "next season" is now! Weekends being prime-time for most enthusiast make them a prime target for Mother Nature's tantrums. WeekNIGHTs during the "on season" at an accessible local venue would also certainly help to curb the urge of hobbyist.

It can take awhile to make these kinds of arrangements from the facility standpoint. Many times it isn't just one individual that makes the decisions, the main contact may have to discuss it with a board or even wait until a meeting to make a decision.
Yes! the sooner the better. The decision-making process of the admins of some of these institutions would make a snail snore. The time to take action is now!

Another thing to think about is the fact that some of the micro planes almost can't be flown outdoors except on a day with no wind. For those that enjoy the micro size planes a year around scheduled time once or twice a month would be a great thing.
BINGO!!!!

The biggest point I'd like to push is putting the joys of the hobby into the laps of the future members.

Don't forget about the nube electric heli pilots that REALLY need the no-wind environs to develop their skills.
