In a previous article, Roy Smith said:
Well, common rules various clubs impose on their members include:
Per-type (or even per-airplane) checkouts.
Prohibition of acrobatics.
Stricter-than-FAA currency requirements.
Scheduling quotas.
Restrictions on which instructors you can use.
Prohibition against smoking in the airplanes.

Those are the only ones that apply to our club. There are additional
rules against allowing non-members fly - if you get weathered in
somewhere, you can get an instrument rated pilot to fly you home in the
plane, but if you have to abandon the plane only a CFII or better can fly
it home. And you have to pay for it.

And most of them are imposed by the insurance company, except the smoking
one and the scheduling quotas. The smoking and scheduling quotas go along
with the fact that a flying club is basically a bunch of people sharing
their toys, so don't **** it up for everybody else. Don't leave junk in
the plane, report any squawks promptly, don't forget to cancel your
reservations as soon as you know you're not going to use the plane, and
leave the plane as you found it.

BTW: Unlike most of the other flying clubs mentioned here, ours doesn't
sell you a share. The initiation fee is only $795, but you don't get any
of it back if you quit.
