Post adoption of SERA, gliders, just like everyone else do need to be radio equipped to operate IFR in a Class G as per SERA 6001.
Well spotted. Doesn't actually say you have to use it though.
[There are some BGA 'rules' about making calls to deconflict with other gliders when in cloud - there's a frequency for that purpose. I usually end up doing that and/or trying to get a radar service if one is available].
