As you need to get the LAPL(S) to carry on flying and instructing on gliders,you may as well put the TMG rating on the LAPL(S), will not cost you any more if you do it on initial issue.
Advice I have received recommends also getting an LAPL or PPL for the TMG.
you will need this ( LAPL or PPL ) if you want to fly anything with a donkey up front.
You only really need a SPL or PPL If you intend flying outside of EASA land, or want to be paid for glider instructing.
See the latest advice on the BGA web site.
You cannot put a Group A ( to use the old terminology ) on the LAPL(s) or SPL
