I've been marshalling more years than I care to remember and when I saw the timetable even I was considering sending the tickets back. I didn't because I don't like letting clubs down, but I'll think twice about doing it next season. I have a near two hour drive each way so I'll be up about 5:00 and won't get back until around 9:00 (even if we finish on time).
If organisers (and I'm not singling out any particular club because I realise there are circumstances beyond their control) don't listen to to us and find they are short of people in future its their own fault. The new Chief Executive of the MSA says in the latest magazine that volunteers need respect. Well this is one example of not respecting them.
