First page of the Pitch Condition and Handover Record — Settle what a pitch looked like on the day it was handed back, rather than arguing about ruts and scorch marks a fortnight later.

What this sheet is for

Settle what a pitch looked like on the day it was handed back, rather than arguing about ruts and scorch marks a fortnight later.

Who it is for

Site wardens and groundstaff turning pitches round between parties on a touring site, campsite or holiday park.

How to use it

  1. Walk the pitch as soon as the party leaves, before anything is tidied.
  2. Note the ground, the hook-up post and whether waste and litter were cleared.
  3. Write any damage or missing item plainly, in the words you would use to describe it to the person who caused it.
  4. Tick the pitch as ready only once it is fit for the next arrival.
  5. Initial each row, so there is a person behind every check.

What is on the sheet

One page, top to bottom:

Printed under the title: The walk round a pitch after one party leaves and before the next one arrives — grass, hardstanding, hook-up post, waste and anything left behind or broken.

Noted on the day, not later. The point of writing it down is the argument you do not have later. A pitch noted as scorched, rutted or missing a post cover on the day it was handed back is a fact; the same thing noticed a fortnight later is an opinion.

Questions

Why is there no charge column for damage?

Because what you recover and how you handle it are set by your own terms and the agreement the party signed. This sheet is the evidence that something was damaged and when it was found; the charging decision sits elsewhere.

Should the departing party sign it?

It helps when they are still on site and the finding is obvious, but plenty of parties leave at first light. A dated, initialled entry made on the day is the useful thing; a signature is a bonus, not the point.
