I allways try and marshal the best I can and sometimes can take longer to get to a car than maybe someone would expect.
But what I dont like is someone standing on the rostrum shouting and screaming at a marshal as the way I look at it is that if you need a marshal then you are the one that has made the mistake.
The truth is that no one whats to do marshaling but its just something that we need to all do you will never police it fully as some people will stand and talk to others use there phone or even take photos whilst they are marshaling.
Now the only way is to put forward a standard level of marshaling that you would expect to be followed at each meeting and that needs to be enforced by the regional rep or the club running the meeting.,
This still does not elimate all the problems as it was mentioned at the coastal regional that people would have penalties if they did not marshal and these were not enforced I know this as I marshaled more rounds than what I should have done to fill in gaps.
