GJB
Requirements for glider towing vary from club to club, but generally you have to be a current glider pilot or have a reasonable amount of previous gliding experience. Many clubs will specify something like bronze gliding certificate and 100hr TT power (including taildragger time if they use taildraggers which most do). In any case, you will have to join the club (for insurance reasons amongst others) and do a bit of 2 up to learn the ropes. Gliding clubs tend to rely on teamwork and people mucking in so its not a good idea to expect free flying unless you're prepared to put some work back in. Towing is good fun and gliding clubs often have some interesting aeroplanes to fly (Chipmunks, Cubs, Jodels etc). Gliding is great too of course. Hope that covers it.
