I would suggest your major problem is the Blanik, the glider
equivalent to the 1961 VW beetle.
The weather you cannot control.

They are in Bundaberg, home of the Jabiru. There's a RAAus flying
school at the airport that uses Jabs. How about a little lateral
thinking and having people do some basic training there and then
glider conversions? If they stay flying Jabs they weren't going to
stay flying gliders anyway. The presence of people learning to fly
Jabs with the flying school in order to fly gliders as their goal may
even get you some more glider pilots in the slightly longer run.
If people think that paying for the power lessons is too expensive
they need to rethink as to whether they can afford gliding.
