It doesn't matter how little or much flying you have done in the past, a club instructor will always do a check flight with you before the club lets you fly solo with their airplane. If the instructor doesn't feel confident with your flying skills you then he/she won't cut you loose! You will be required to demonstrate competence with general handling including power on/power off stalls and traffic patterns and landings, much like a shortened General Flight Test which you would have done for your PPL check ride.
