Colyton Youth Football Tournament
This well-organized event encourages hundreds of supportive family members to turn out in support. Going from strength to strength the tournament saw approximately 200 teams sign on for this 2-day event. Kicking off around 10am the groups are split into:
| Under 8s | Under 10s | Under 12s | and | Under 14s | competing on Saturday |
| Under 9s | Under 11s | Under 13s | and | Under 15s | competing on the Sunday |
The top 4 teams in each category play off on the day resulting in a final game to decide which team takes home the prize trophy or the runners up cup, both presented by representatives from CRW Accountants Ltd.
Colyton Vintage Tractor Run
What may have started off as a small-scale event now sees farmers and enthusiasts alike desperate to take one of the 120 positions available. With the Run now at its most popular, drivers frantically returned their forms to the secretary with all places being booked in less than 7 days.
Over the years, some truly breath-taking scenery has been enjoyed by drivers and passengers alike but, it’s the vehicles themselves that are the main event. Attracting greater numbers which line the route each year 2012 has seen the highest amount ever raised for charity, a staggering £3000.
CRW Accountants have been the main sponsors of the Vintage Tractor Run for several years and continue that sponsorship forward to support this popular event taking place.
Paddock Sponsor Axe Vale Point-to-Point
Grab your wellies and go! Not ones to be put off by the weather this, late April event has owners, riders and families alike avoiding the showers to attend the popular race at Stafford Cross, East Devon. This flat, sharp, but easy course favours the speed merchants leading to some close finishes to keep the audience gripped to the very end.
CRW Accountants Ltd has proudly sponsored the paddock at this event for several years and is delighted to promote a hearty day out in the county.
Honorary Accountants to Colyton Carnival Collection
To most people, Carnival is a day in late September to late November when they come to watch a procession of electric splendour. Ask a carnivalite and the reply would be that Carnival is a way of life, 52 weeks of the year. Once the processions are over, entrants busy themselves throughout the cold winter months re-designing floats and making preparations so the ‘show can go on!’ Colyton Carnival traditionally attracts over 2,000 spectators which line the high street to see the most spectacularly illuminated entries, from a single juvenile masquerader walking to the major mounted entries all after the illustrious cups.
CRW Accountants Ltd is proud to be honorary accountants to the procession which donates remarkable sums of money to charity every year.
