Yep I got the same response last year. Similar number of hours many of which instructing but not sufficient experience on tailwheel. I now have the experience on tailwheel but have no desire to re-apply on the basis of the rather "you're not good enough for our club response".
There's only one or two LAA coaches left in Scotland and yet in my magazine it tells me how keen they are to increase the number of coaches. I'm far from perfect but at least I'm an instructor willing to give my time in exchange for coffee and chat.
Decided not to bother with it. It's something they could definitely handle much better
