Noggin, thanks for the info.
It seems then that if the instructor holds a CPL or ATPL, or if renumeration is not recieved by the holder of a BCPL(R), there is no requirement for student or instructor to belong to a "flying club". Of couse an approved FTO is not a "flying club" either.
I suggest that the following snip fron the Tayside Aviation web site is not strictly true.
"It is a prerequisite of learning to fly that both student and instructor be members of a properly constituted flying club."
