Winter is always a bleak time for flying training, the schools that provide this and the aerodromes whose business is built on it. (Natch)
2010 might see a huge change in allowing PPL A flight training from non-licensed fields like microlights. That may save a few from bankruptcy. However the delayed increase in CAA charges next year will affect full service airfields and have a negative impact on GA.
Add to this the OFCOM charges, EASA charges, higher taxation and global warming and to me the future looks dismal. Sorry.
