The 2012 World Pooh Sticks Championships was held on Sunday 25th March.
Thank you to everyone who made the day such a great success - we even had fantastic weather.
We had 30 teams of four playing on the Dorchester Bridge followed by 547 players in the individual games on both the Dorchester and Little Wittenham Bridges! So with a total of 667 players we think we had over 1300 visitors on site during the day.
Pooh Bear and Tigger bounced around all day long entertaining children and performing for the tv cameras. The winners of both the team and individual championships are shown in the photos above. Aidan Eltham from Walllingford won the individual games and the Tiglets won the team event.
Thank you to all the members of other Rotary and Rotaract clubs that helped us on the day: Abingdon Vesper Rotary Club, Banbury Rotary Club, High Wycombe Rotaract Club, Oxford Rotaract Club, Sinodun Rotary Club on the bbq, and Windsor & St George Rotary Club. Thank you also to scouts from 15th Didcot Scout Group and to friends and family of Oxford Spires members.
And of course thank you to Niall Blair, the District Governor for our Rotary District, who presented the prizes with help from Pooh Bear and Tigger.
We raised approximately £3,000 for local, national and international charities supported by Oxford Spires Rotary and the other Rotary clubs that helped.
