If you join the LGPS and leave after 1 year this does not meet the 2-year vesting period.
If you subsequently after some time rejoin the LGPS can you count that previous year of membership towards the 2-year vesting period?

You would only be able to take a refund if you request that before you are re-employed. But that would not be a good option, as you would only receive your own contributions less tax.0
