PPL flying in Hampshire

Wonder if anyody can help - I will be moving soon to the Winchester area and would like to continue flying. I am a PPL currently flying C152, C172 and PA28 out of EGKB. My research so far indicates the local airfields to be Popham and Chilbolton. Whilst these appear to be busy, lively airfields, it seems the only schools/clubs are for 3 axis microlight aircraft, Ikarus, Eurostar etc as opposed to group a. I note that there are aircraft shares in Group A aircraft available at Popham, but at least initially I would like to just join a club operating Group A aircraft, get checked out and rent an aircraft as I do now. Does anybody know what my options would be for this type of flying? I would prefer not to have to travel as far as Blackbushe for example. I also looked at Old Sarum but that also seems to be microlight too. Any ideas gratefully received.
