Lots of options and lots of advice.
Whatever you choose to do I'm sure we'd all wish you good luck in your new venture.
Having done gliding many years ago you'll find the real fun comes when you are able to master soaring and spend more than a few minutes in the air on a circuit, unless you pay for an aerotow. The only down side was that I have spent many days on the airfield helping to launch and recover aircraft without getting a flight due to the weather changing or some priority booking which wasn't in the book, however the fact that I was willing to help out all the time meant I did get some bonus flights. Just remember though that with a glider you only get one shot at landing (unless it has a motor)
I'm not gliding anymore as I've moved onto other things but I think the experience made me a better pilot with regards to 'stick and rudder' flying.
Enjoy your flight when you get it
