There are a few clubs in the UK where gliders and power share, and they deal with it by separating the traffic - gliders fly left-hand and power right-hand circuits or vice versa. So, power can fly the shape circuit they think appropriate and gliders the shape we think is appropriate. Much safer IMHO than mixing the two and making gliders 1) get too low and 2) lose sight of the reference and landing areas.
