This really is not the best time of year. Most strips will be suffering from the warm wet winter to some degree or another. It is so easy to cut up soft wet strips.

Most strip owners are very cautious about inviting in strip-neonates as the propensity for bugger-ups is high. Strips are different to airfields and most owners do not encourage/want/enjoy circuits and that is precisely what you need to "learn the ropes".

Suggest that you practice landing on the numbers without dragging it in and once your prowess becomes known, you might find yourself being invited somewhere different.
