My 172 hasn't been reweighed since the 90's, but the regulations here in the US are probably different.

Never heard of such. Is the club operating commercial or as ATO and the requirement was put in the individual handbook?
No, the club is just an RTF, no commercial ops

Sounds more like someone's idea of a sensible interval than a rule. I've had a brief look at CS-23 but there's nothing in the General section about periodic weighing.

It used to be every 4 years but, without looking it up, I think now under the LAMP it is when the owner thinks it is necessary such as when there is a new piece of equipment added.
