Learning to glide in the UK

Guys,

I'm interested in learn to glide (as opposed to practicing PFLs ) and am wondering where to do an intensive one or two week course (in the UK or NI, since there's no gliding clubs to speak of in Ireland, where I live). I've Googled and Pprunesearched but nary an impartial opinion has arisen.

I'm aware we're coming to the end of the main gliding season, but would like some info for next year.

Helpfulness will be rewarded with alcohol!

PS: Any comments along the line of 'using an engine is the only way to REALLY fly!' will find a gaggle of gliders dumping ballast on their house (from beyond air rifle range)
