Thank you, I found this too but it's almost 10 years out of date...

The site did mention events in 2020 (although these are liable to be cancelled, I'd imagine) so it has been updated fairly recently. There is a contact form - might be worthwhile dropping them a line.

According to an article (page 60) in issue 1433 of Coach and Bus Week it is still with the same owner as listed above.
Not sure how to post a direct link to the online version of the magazine.
