Me too. Also in the Mk3 and later Prefect and I went on to fly over 500 launches (ie landings) mostly carrying Air Experience cadets.
When I started my PPL course about 4 years later, all this counted for nothing because I hadn't got a Silver C but with the PPL course lasting a minimum of 35 hours I completed the syllabus in 31 hours.
I am convinced that this gliding experience made me a much more competent powered pilot.
