Prescott is very good, I only started going there this season and already feel very much part of team - so hard luck, you will be seeing more of me next season.
The wider point seems to be that the smaller the venue/organisation the better we get treated, at Wiscombe last weekend we got a free burger, marshals draw (thanks for the whiskey!) and a drink and sweeties in the afternoon. This probably did not cost the club that much, but someone had to organise it, I suspect that at the larger meetings it is simply forgotten.
I now tend to do most of my marshalling at smaller venues/clubbies. These meetings are all about enthusiasts not money and they seem to me to be more enjoyable because of it!
