Hi all, I was wondering if anyone here could help me track down some postcodes as im trying to finalise the bands route on friday and simply cannot find certain postcodes!

If anyone can provide postcodes for the following venues i would be a happy man :)
(if there isnt a postcode for a venue, ie field, then a nearby building would do!)

Greenacres
Grotton
Friezland
Greenfield
Dobcross

Many thanks!

Greenfield starts at OL3 7EU. That is Boarshurst Band Club on Greenbridge Lane.
The contest starts at the Conservative Club at the top of the road.

Grotton is OL4 5SE. That is the Grotton Hotel, Station Road.

To complete the list:-

Dobcross OL3 5AA
Uppermill OL3 6AA
Diggle OL3 7DA
Delph OL3 5EG
Denshaw OL3 5RY
Greenfield OL3 7DA
Scouthead OL4 4AS
Greenacre OL4 3HD
Friezland OL3 7LD
Lees OL4 5AE

All the OL3 are true Saddleworth Villages (in the old West Ridings of Yorkshire region). The OL4 are areas of Oldham which are listed as Saddleworth Contests for this occasion (if that makes any sense).

Here's wishing everyone an enjoyable trouble free Whit Friday.

And if anyone fancies a blow in the morning and sample the true meaning of the occasion, you can always come out with Boarshurst in the morning for our annual Whit Walks with the Churches of Greenfield.

Whatever the plan, surely it will just go out the window on the day?

Maybe twitter will come into force this year to give immediate updates on the queue at each location.

Dunno if anyone can help - Y'know once you've played at Uppermill? Can the coach go back the other way on the main road (ie, where you've just marched) or do you have to keep heading north out of the village?

They're all here.


And to Danny L - all the coaches are directed through Uppermill one way, you'll have to drive through and then find a route back round (as far as I know its the same in all the villages).

Ah thought so, just thought I'd double check though 'coz I'm sure I remember going through Uppermill the other way one year, maybe the coach went the wrong way or I'm just completely wrong (probably the latter!) - thanks for clearing that up Accidental!

I remember that there is a really tight zig-zag-type bend near Greenfield, does anyone know if you can get a coach round it?

Gents, just to clarify the situation in Uppermill.........coaches will be allowed to drive through the village in both directions however they will only be allowed to book in at the museum car park if they are coming from the Greenfield / Oldham end. Any coaches coming from Dobcross / Diggle end will have to drive through and turn round before being allowed to book in. I understand that they will not allow "runners" to jump off the bus and book in whilst the coach is turning around, the bus must be in the queue.
In Greenfield, Chapel Road (the gentle slope from Uppermill into the village) is one way into the village due to road works and possibly the best way in whilst Station Brow (the steep road with the hairpin corner) will be open both ways and only way out of the village and it is anticipated this could become a bit chaotic as the night goes on.
Hope this helps

are they going to move all the barriers currently on Chapel Road as it didnt look like you could get a coach past them when I went down last week! Does sound like greenfield is going to be a bit chaotic this year but if everybody knows that then perhaps a lot will avoid it?

Hopefully common sense will prevail and they will move them back as far a possible but there is a bus that still goes down there I think and so a coach should be able to get down. I know what you mean though it will be a close fit and a coach driver that has not experienced WF before could totally screw the whole job :-(
