Tailwheel conversion training?

I'm currently stuck in India on business at the moment, but will return to the UK for 2 weeks in late August. Whilst I'm back I'd like to do a tailwheel conversion, but where?

I've seen the Clacton Aero Club mentioned, and also spoken about it briefly to a guy (I can't remember his name, unfortunately) from White Waltham (WLAC?) who flew a PA-18 into EGBT when I was there last.

From the websites, the CAC 5/8hour courses look like good value for money, compared to the current WLAC prices. Can anyone recommend these courses, or possibly a better way to do it?

I'm about 70TT in C152's and PA-28's but my heart is set on flying tailwheel aircraft (RV-8's) so I think sooner rather than later is a good thing. A full-time course appeals too, as my time in the UK will be largely dedicated to things aviation.

Any info and tips appreciated.

Thanks,

A
