Hi Terbert
I'm not actually an Omega owner, but did a Google search to see what might come up about this subject.
I too received a notice a couple of days ago, for overstaying my welcome at Turbury Park on 30th Dec. So yesterday I drove back there to check out the signs. There are loads of them, including one right at the entrance (see links below and zoom in on the pics).
I made the assumption that the main purpose of the 3 hour parking limit was to stop people from parking in the car park then clearing off somewhere else; so last night I sent a very polite email to the address quoted on the back of the letter (tps@appealpcn.co.uk), attaching a photo of all my shopping receipts to prove that all I'd done during my stay was shop and eat on the premises. I apologised, told them it wouldn't happen again and asked if they would be willing to reconsider their decision on this occasion.
This afternoon I received an equally polite reply back saying they had cancelled the notice. Maybe I got lucky; but I reckon that, as long as you're polite and can prove you were in the shops for the whole time, you're in with a chance.
For the record, if they hadn't let me off, I was just going to ignore their demands, but it's much less stress and hassle if you can avoid going down that route
Whatever you decide to do, I wish you the very best of luck.
