It's interesting reading all the comments on here, never realised it was such a minefield trying to find a suitable club.
I'm probably a bit of an anomaly (others have used different words to describe me previously!) as I'm currently a gliding instructor looking to get an NPPL TMG / SEP while I can still get a credit for my circa 1,000 gliding hours.
It's quite amazing the number of clubs that don't seem to offer NPPL courses or recognise that there are glider pilots who want to take advantage of the 10hrs instruction needed (yes I know that's a minimum) to get the chance to fly things with fans on the front too.
If I later want to upgrade my NPPL SEP (or LAPL I guess) to a JAR (EASA?) PPL, are there any particular pitfalls as regards the club I learned with that I need to be aware of? For example I have heard that hours spent learning with BGA clubs that offer NPPL SLMG / TMG training cant be counted towards the JAR (EASA?) PPL.
It seems so much easier without a fan!
