PPL to gliding

Hi. I'm a PPL holder and thought it might be fun to do some glider flying this summer. Does anyone have a feel for what complexities/cost is likely to be involved in your average PPL converting across? Gliding courses to solo standard are offered at ~£1000 but surely our experience counts for something? As much as anything I'm also interested in the timeframe required as I'm assuming gliding clubs will operate much differently to powered flying in that there's much more involvement with the club operations like winching duties etc.
