Some misconceptions here. Firstly, an AOC is not required for flight instruction, whether or not given within a club environment. An AOC is required only for public transport, not for aerial work.

Secondly, assuming that the flight is training or testing for the purpose of becoming qualified for the grant of a pilots licence or the inclusion of an aircraft rating, a night rating or a night qualification in a licence, the aircraft may not take off or land anywhere other than at a licensed aerodrome or a government aerodrome.

If a positioning flight is required from an unlicensed to a licensed aerodrome, it can, in law, only be a private flight and no valuable consideration can be given in relation to it.
