Looking for a flying club

I'm considering doing my PPL, I'm based in Lincolnshire, nearest club is at RAF Waddington. Does anyone have any recommendations as to a club in Lincs to learn to fly at? Doesn't have to have all the social side although that would be nice as well. I'm looking for a friendly, laid back place basically.

Also I know some years ago that gliding experience counted towards hours off the hours required for PPL (why did it go up from 40?) at a rate of I think every 10 gliding hours was an hour off the powered side. Does this still apply? Thanks in advance.
