emdiesse,
If your ultimate goal is to get a PPL then CPL off the gliding route, then forget it, its a totally false ecenomy. You would need to get minimum 'Silver C' badge in gliding, plus minimum 10 hours PPL instruction, which would allow you to convert to a NPPL. You would then have to do a further 10 hours PPL instruction to upgrade to a full JAA PPL.
The cost of obtaining a full silver C badge in gliding will probably cost you more then a 3 week FT PPL course in Florida...........you do the maths!
but p.s. Do go along and get some flying done. Gliding is great fun and will make you a far better pilot in the long run. Do muck in though, thats what gliding clubs are all about. Everyone helps out as best they can. Any freeloaders who pitch up late in the day, fly, and then bugger off home will not be welcome. If your not there first thing to get everything out, then make sure your there last thing at night to help clean up ad pack the hangar
