Maybe there are two things getting tangled up together here - the existence,
membership and purpose of an IOLTC group, and assistance from Lego
negotiated by such group. It seems to me that assistance from lego could be
tied to actions - it wouldn't come as a result of belonging to the IOLTC,
but as a result of doing something specific such as displaying at a show.
Now, lego might like to do some things simply to support the existence of a
club at all - that's up to them (companies do support "fan clubs", after
all) - but donations of eg track or K8's for use at shows could be tied to
actual shows.
