Inspired by AA Milne's classic Winnie the Pooh books, the World Championships sees competitors race sticks under a bridge in Day's Lock on the River Thames. All money raised by the event goes to the RNLI.

Poohsticks game rules:

Select a stick, face upstream, side by side with fellow competitors

Choose either the oldest or the youngest competitor as a "starter"

Competitors must hold their stick at arm's length over the stream, usually from a bridge, at the same height as the shortest competitor's stick

All competitors must drop, and not throw, their sticks into the water at the same time, on the starter's call

The players must then cross to the downstream side of the bridge and wait for the sticks to emerge

The owner of the first stick to float from under the bridge is the winner.
