One factor that hasn't been mentioned, and one that I know is applicable, is the ever rising avarage age of marshals. I know of 3 marshals from my area who have decided to retire their probans, and that's 80 years experience lost. These are senior track officials who are all over 60. I'm heading that way rapidly, but I don't have a direct family who will have grown accustomed to having me around at weekends this year; again, I know of several marshals who have familial pressure.
Whether people choose not to continue is their own decision to make. After all, we are all volunteers.
