My club requires a clubcheck once every year, regardless of hours flown, and no other currency rules other than what's legally required. A prof check doubles as a club check every other year, and a (successful) checkout on a new type also counts as a club check.

We operate four different brands of aircraft (Piper, Robin, Diamond and Cessna), 9 types (all non-complex), 17 aircraft in total. One yearly clubcheck is sufficient for all the types you've ever been checked out on, although common sense prevails: most people restrict themselves to two or three types they know well, and will not fly any other type, at least not to the limits of the envelope.

Furthermore we have 3 more complex aircraft, including a twin, for which a different regime applies (and rightly so).
