Flying tailwheel aircraft

I am very interested in vintage planes and belong to two clubs where they are flown.
I have been offered shares in various tailwheel groups and also the use of a club aircraft.
I will do a tailwheel conversion when I obtain my PPL but am a bit confused by conflicting advice.
Some say as soon as I have the conversion they will check me out and I can fly their plane.
Others say I will need a number of hours tailwheel experience before I can fly,and I understand that there can also be an issue with low hours tailwheel pilots with some insurance companies.

Is there any advice or official guidance on this subject?
