We are very much hopeful now that the alternative SHOWBUSflyby will not be needed this year. The pandemic last year caused us to forsake the Hertfordshire County Showground for the A40 and with room for thousands to safely socially distance from Wheatley near Oxford to Beaconsfield many safely enjoyed one of the few enthusiast events of 2020. The SHOWBUS TRADERS VILLAGE was relocated to High Wycombe's historic Market Place. As part of SHOWBUS 50, the "flyby" will be back on September 18th 2022, starting at Brunel University across Buckinghamshire on the A40 to Thame and Wheatley services.
