The threat of rain did not stop 700 of the world's hardened Pooh-stickers testing their skills on the River Thames at Day's Lock, in Little Wittenham, on Sunday.
They were watched by more than 2,000 people lining the banks of the river.
Because the event was held on Mothering Sunday, a mothers' race was held, with prizes going to Jackie Conneely and Valerie Caswell from Wallingford, though a mix-up meant the individual winners of other races went unrecorded.
Pooh Sticks was played in the children's book Winnie The Pooh by Pooh and his friends, dropping sticks from one side of a bridge and then running to see whose stick floated out first.
