Whit Friday Saddleworth
Friezland contest does not count for the open and local area prizes because it is restricted to 3rd section, 4th section and youth bands.
According to the British Bandsman 20/06/1992, - "The new Saddleworth area champion's award (highest marks from six contests) was won by Williams Fairey Engineering followed by Grimethorpe and Hammonds. Of the 19 contests, a few managed to play at 10, although Hammonds managed to squeeze in 12 contests. A total of 105 bands played at the nine contests in the Saddleworth area. The Tameside Championship had not been decided as we went to press". So 1992 is the 1st year of the overall Saddleworth Champion. 19 contests obviously refers to Tameside and Saddleworth/Oldham.
