Bob, arrangements can change(with the nature center). I would start a universal astronomy club, because the first thing you want is a good member base. You don't want to turn people away. And you'll get to take advantage of other people's larger scopes(as edj said). You can certainly emphasize binoculars too, but do welcome people with scopes. Make the club as friendly to beginners as possible(that's how you keep new members coming back). Once you have a nice sized group, with everyone's connections and resources, you can do a lot in the facilities area in the future.

But your first problem is to get a club together and going. Maybe someone in the club will have better ideas about where the best star party sites are. So don't worry about the rest yet.
