Almost all gliding is "Club" flying, all pilots are members of a gliding club, pilots are often required to pay a day membership if it is not their home club. Even a pilot with extensive gliding experience will be checked out carefully before being allowed to fly advance gliders. Having said that a pilot that has trained with his home club flown 20 hours solo in glass 2 seaters and basic single seaters, may well be allowed to fly the LS4 locally on selected days, they know him to be a reliable pilot and want to encourage him.
