Anyone know anything about this? Ideally, how to make contact with them.

Different group. 

"As the Financial Ombudsman Service was ineffective, Shared Appreciation Mortgage customers contacted their Members of Parliament and in 2003 created the Shared Appreciation Mortgage Victims Action Group (SAMVIC), a body of 500 homeowners who felt that they had been deceived by lenders into taking on debts that were now exorbitant, to coordinate legal action against the banks. Harold Fisher was one of the homeowners who helped to run SAMVIC. "

There's been a lot of similarly named groups over the years. 
I suspect the one I'm after is long gone, but I was hoping that maybe someone might know otherwise.

This seems to have reached a dead-end for most Barclays customers outside the Teacher Stern group after that action settled out of court.

I think you're probably right.
