Getting back in to gliding

A couple of years ago I did my Gliding Scholarship through the Air Cadets and loved it, and soloed after 32 launches. However, it's been a busy time and I haven't flown without an engine since.

As funding will not allow any more powered flying for a long while (I soloed in a Flying Scholarship this summer), and reminded of just how good gliding felt by a very well written article in Pilot this month (has anyone else read it?), I'm now looking at getting back in to the sport, but know almost nothing about certification/requirements to hire from clubs etc. How far does my 32 launches + solo (all on the G103A Twin II Acro) and ground training get me? I'm wanting to get to the point where I can solo again and eventually take up the odd passenger.

BTW I live in the Leeds area so York or Sutton Bank will be my nearest clubs.

Many thanks folks.
