Route One is to go back to David Lloyd and demand that they get the PCN's cancelled.

In this instance the driver has the added leverage of terminating their membership - words along the lines of, "There's no point me being a member if I can never find a parking space" - I'll lay odds they suddenly find a way of cancelling the notices.

If that does fail then we can revert to the normal tactics - in this instance the NtK is not strictly compliant with PoFA and a section of mandatory wording is missing from their document.

I am the registered keeper but was not the driver on these occasions
 
The driver on 2 days received these tickets for parking out of a bay in the David Lloyd Car Park when there were no available bays.

Driver is a member of the club

The club say it is not their car park owned or managed by them and they cannot cancel the penalty however it is clearly only for members of the club. One has to use the membership card to enter the car park and signs say it is the David Lloyd car park.. They are leaving NPC to manage the car park.

Note each ticket has a different description of the same offence and each observation period is for roughly one minute.

One ticket does not show the signs and from the tickets I cannot read the signage.

Please advise if there is any way to challenge these
