This does seem strange, I do hold a Competition licence -annual cost north of £100 last year: I'm sure that the 2020 renewal will go down now we have these new"low cost" regulations 
I have always understood that an MSA/MUK affiliated club membership card was all that is needed for closed i.e. organising club membership only non-speed events like production car trials autotests etc. - in other words, the real grass roots of motorsport in the UK.
The MUK blurb seems to say that these "membership only" events have had/will have "clubman" status which AFAIK needed a Clubman licence, certainly that was one option on the MSA/MUK paperwork when I renewed my National "A" licence last year.
