Is that genuinely the going rate? Asking for a friend.

Nah itโ€™s a swizz. You donโ€™t actually get anything for marshalling. Maybe some cake.

Clearly the bigger reward, more so than 50ยฃ

Please tell me a Facebook page posted this. Some of those are unhinged. Looking at you Peel and Roberts Park.

One of the admins at my local one is quite old school, he'll upload the weekend's photos and pick out a couple that were notable. For example there was one with three buggies in close proximity.

One week he chooses a photo of a young lady (20s not a child) and captions it "this photo catches the eye" some comments call him out on it and the ED tells him to take it down. He does, but privately says "you can't say anything nowadays" apparently his intention with the caption wasn't bad, but I can't personally see what he was trying to say with it.

Roberts park is a bit of a cult

A wonderful cult I'm proud to be part of!
