The team at Carmarthen-based Chartered Accountants and Chartered Tax Advisors Clay Shaw Butler are weighing-in with sponsorship for a championship-chasing tug-of-war team.
Clay Shaw Butler are sponsoring St Clears tug-of-war team as they head to the Welsh Tug of War Championship in Aberaeron this Saturday.
Mark Jones, director of Clay Shaw Butler, said: “We are delighted to be sponsoring the St Clears team and wish them ‘pob lwc’ (every luck) in Aberaeron this weekend.
“As a firm of Chartered Accountants, we know all about test of strength and stamina, so we hope our sponsorship brings St Clears extra help in their battle for championship glory.”
Teams of eight from across the country will battle it out when the Wales National Tug of War Championships takes place in Aberaeron.
There will be different categories for men, women, young people and mixed gender.
The competition starts at 9am on Saturday, July 14, at the Square Field and carries on throughout the day.
Teams taking part in the championships include, St Clears, Llanboidy, Hermon, Llanddewi Brefi, Glamorgan, Trecastle, Hay on Wye, Llanrwst and Llandovery, with weigh-ins taking place at the Feathers Hotel the night before.
John Lewis, the chairman of Aberaeron Town Improvement Committee which is hosting the event, said: “Tug-of-war is one of the country’s fastest-growing sports, so we are lucky to bring the Wales National Championships to Aberaeron. It is a great result for the town.
Last year’s championship was in Monmouth and was a great success.
With our location along the coast we hope that this year will be even better and will be a great family day out for everyone.”
“The Square Field is the ideal location and we hope everyone attending, whether competitors, supporters or spectators will have a great time and it will put Aberaeron on the map.”
The sport of tug-of-war is hugely popular with young farmers groups and in the rural communities of Wales.
West Wales is recorded as a hot-bed for the very best tug-of-war teams with the Llanboidy team being a past world champion.
