I fly a small cessna every several months or so when i'm visiting friends and the initial landings are typically not things of beauty. I don't know about going out to do any airwork but I would highly recommend grabbing a CFI or at least someone "current" and taking a few bounces around the pattern. Chances are, you'd be fine, but in that one rare case do you really want to make that mistake? All it takes is a few extra minutes of your time and a couple more bucks, the possible alternative, well...
