FANS of Winnie the Pooh will once again go head to head this weekend as the World Pooh Sticks Championships returns to Oxfordshire.

The competition at Langel Common in Witney will run from midday on Sunday.

The deadline for teams to register to compete was Wednesdy, but individuals are welcome to turn up on the day.

The competition, inspired by the affable bear, sees players toss their sticks into the river, with the first to arrive at the finishing line declared the winner.
