You need to reduce the bureaucracy - I've been to a training day, but I haven't joined a club and have thankfully been able to sidestep all that rubbish - people are so desperate for the extra marshals...
I've been lucky enough to have "trained" on the job with a top bunch of marshals - and I haven't had any problems with people yet.
Personally I do think it's disgusting that people have to pay for their own equipment - I've met people who bring their own flags because they can't trust what's going to be there at the circuit!
And would it ever be too much to ask for a club to give you lunch and a drink or two? Bemsee did it once and I had some vouchers at the 2CV 24 hours, but not enough to keep you going for very long at all.
