Recent CAA doc. regarding instruction in P to F aircraft

I find the exemption in ORS4_803 confusing. I am concerned at the definition of "club environment". Our group is split over 2 clubs. Is a taildragger group to be restricted from using a strip which a club does not approve for its members renting its nosewheel aircraft? And the "no pilot maintanance" requirements of ORS4_804 seem to preclude most of the instruction intended.

ORS4_803
“3 c) The person undergoing instruction or testing must hold an appropriate licence to act as pilot in command of the flight save that their licence does not include a valid certificate of test, experience or revalidation as required by Article 66, 67, 68 or 69 of the Order.”
“Exemption The CAA, in exercise of its powers under Article 242 of the Order, exempts the person undergoing instruction or testing in accordance with the above permission from the requirement” at Article 50 of the Order to hold an appropriate licence.

“This permission applies only to aircraft which are both jointly owned and in a club environment. Article 259(2) defines a club environment as meaning where an aircraft owned by, operated by or operated under arrangements entered into by a flying club of which both the instructor or examiner and student or examinee are members. So to comply with this permission, the joint owners will need to enter into arrangements with a flying club such that the aircraft is operated by or operated under arrangements with that flying club.”
ORS4_4
“2 c) For aircraft with a maximum take-off weight authorised not exceeding 2730 kg, whenever a flight pursuant to this exemption is conducted in a non-EASA aircraft, the last scheduled maintenance inspection prior to the flight shall have been certified by an appropriately licensed engineer or suitably approved organisation who shall have issued a Certificate of Release to Service in respect thereof.”
“2d) At the time of any flight pursuant to this exemption in a non-EASA there shall have been no pilot maintenance carried out since the maintenance inspection referred to in sub-paragraph c) above.”
