The LAA route is certainly one way, but there are other ways, one of which is not to use larger airfields for training. I remember having to do my night circuits at a regional airport and the cost of landings dwarfed the cost of the aircraft hire (by the way, you can't do that in an LAA machine!)
Later the club negotiated a better deal elsewhere for that sort of training. My own recommendation is to find a club at a smaller airfield without 'International Spaceport' pretensions, where they take a more realistic view of customer service
