AMEs

Well I am having real problems.
1. My long-time AME - a fine chap - was 'audited' by the CAA a couple of years ago, and is no longer listed.
2. The chap who did my next medical - seemed OK - had retired when I came to renew this year.
3. So, I am looking for my 3rd AME in as many years.

The Problem
I am hunting for someone a reasonable distance from Andover, but those I have tried to contact have either closed their list to new applicants (clearly a good sign), or don't answer emails (clearly not a good sign).

Is there a diminishing supply of AMEs?
Is it just me?
Does everyone have to drive for miles to get a class 2 medical these days?
Thoughts? Suggestions?
