In practical terms, what's the difference between a club and group ownership with several aircraft?

I have a single seater which costs about £10-18 per hour in fuel depending on how fast I go. I wanted it for currency, as I felt I was getting rusty enough that I couldn't afford to fly enough to trust myself with other people's lives. Also, I couldn't afford to fly far enough to go anywhere interesting.

My ideal would be to co-own several aircraft - something small and cheap, something aerobatic, and something good for touring with a couple of people. As co-ownership would open up the prospect of permit types, costs would be lower and choice of aircraft could be considerably more varied.
