Re: 4486

Is the LVR  privately owned or controlled by a few individuals? masquerading as a
non profit group. Do the profits from the Lachlan Alco Loco group go to the
serveral owners? Are the owners of the above named group board members of the LVR?
This must surely affect the LVR's non-profit status.
