[ParkingEye] Should I attach gym membership to complaint/appeal?

Hello all! Long time lurker but first time poster.

I fought my first parking charge recently thanks to this forum (airport one so was super easy to do, thanks!), but I'm a bit stuck on this new one!

Parking Charge letter issued to me by ParkingEye. They operate car park in Stevenage Swimming Centre. The land is owned by the Borough Council but is operated under lease by Everyone Active. No golden ticket I'm afraid.

Went in for a swim and presumably forgot to put in my VRN (obviously PE have not told me what my offence was). I have screenshot proof of a swimming session booked for the time that the alleged offence occurred but this has my name on it.

I'm yet to submit anything to Everyone Active/Stevenage BC/ParkingEye.

1. If the land is owned by Stevenage BC (I have not paid for the title to prove this but know that is how it works with leisure centres in other council areas) am I still allowed to appeal in the same way?

2. Can I include a screenshot of the booking confirmation? Or is that a no-no as the name on the booking confirmation and the registered keeper names match?

I'm currently drafting up a letter to send to Everyone Active through their online form (unfortunately general queries can only be done through an online form). I've found the CEO's name online and can probably take an educated guess on what his email address is, so will copy/paste into an email to him as well as the Executive Councillor responsible for leisure centres.
