Bournemouth is like many smallish airfields in transition from being pro GA s to being indifferent or even anti.
All airfields go this way when they get a few scheduled airline services; suddenly GA seems trivial and rather an irritant. To be discouraged if at all possible.
Oxford was a bit this way when it was busy with professional pilot trainees. Now the market has decamped to sunnier climes, they have reduced their landing fee to a fiver and are trying desperately not to become the latest Thames Valley housing estate.
Bournemouth, Southampton and soon Plymouth and Exeter are to be avoided by GA, in my opinion. Lots more interesting places to go.
