Is it just me, or has this not been well advertised? I am just in Aylesbury and it's the first I've heard of it!

First I've heard too, & I'm just up the road in Rugby!
Bad timing. Colours just gone & Partizan just coming. :(

Agree it seems to have a very low profile as too the club running it - only reason I found it was thanks to this seller of 3d prints why will be going and who was also at colours see: https://disainstudio.com/product/mammoth_pose1/

Well, I'm going to pop along this morning for a look. As has been the trend in recent years at this show, the trader list is not very extensive or inspiring.

I've just got back from visiting the show this morning. Only 7 traders, but I was pleasantly surprised that several of them were interesting to me, in fact I bought more than I thought I would.

I hadn't seen Distain Studio before, nice quality 3d resin prints, I bought a prehistoric wolf and a Great Irish Elf skeleton (skeletons are always useful for set dressing/clues/warnings in games), some nice, ready to use scenic bases from Products for Wargamers (I always find something to buy on their stand), some self-adhesive grass tufts from Fox Miniature Dioramas and a couple of pots of paint.
Fox had some nice hand-made terrain sets, 6-7 pieces starting from 50 quid a set. Good value for what they were and seemed to be made to a good standard. As I am mainly playing skirmish games on a 3x3 table they had too big a footprint for my needs or else I probably would have picked up a set. I had a chat with the chap and he is happy to made bespoke stuff, so I will probably get in touch for a quote later in the year.
Nothing to interest me on the Bring and Buy, but that is often the case nowadays.
Nice to see mainly participation games (I didn't play any because it was a flying visit). I liked the 54mm Silver Bayonet game and the 28mm gangster gamd had a very nice layout.
My only disappointment was that in the hour or so I was there I didn't see anyone I knew. :-[ (https://flic.kr/p/2nMeBLp)
