Tiddlywinks
It takes real dexterity to become the champion of tiddlywinks: the game where you flick small disks into a central hole. There may be a North American Tiddlywinks Association but, as a traditional parlour game from Victorian England, the yanks are unlikely to win. Last year, Patrick Barrie won the Wimbledon of Tiddlywinks when he won the UK Tiddlywinks Singles Championship and beat his American nemesis, Larry Kahn, in a World Singles match. Barrie and Kahn have been in tense competition for the past 16 years but, until the next UK-US tiddlywink battle, Barrie holds the of tiddlywinks grandmaster.
Pooh Sticks
The World Pooh Sticks Championships turns the game invented by A A Milne into a seriously competitive event. There are eight rules to legislate the dropping of sticks into the stream and waiting them to race under the bridge. This year, Simon Critchley from Harwell won first place, and international competition has yet to invade this event.
Caber Toss
This traditional Scottish event sees men - usually wearing kilts - throw a large "caber" pole, which is 19ft 6in high and made from a larch tree. Caber tossers are not concerned with how far they throw their pole, but aim to toss the caber straight up so that it turns end-over-end.
Snail racing
Six-year-old snail trainer Sue Ryder won the last snail race, but the 2014 tournament - which is coming up on July 19 - is wide open for a new champion. The event has been held at Congham in Norfolk for the past 25 years and sees the snails race over 13 inches of damp cloth. The record to beat is 2 minutes and 13 seconds, which was achieved by a snail called Archie in 1995. And the rules explicitly forbid "giant foreign snails". No hope for the French, then.
Toe wrestling
Toe Wrestling has prestigious origins, dating back to a "Ye Olde Royal Oak Inn" pub in Wetton, Derbyshire in 1976. Adult competitions interlock big ties and wrestle to try and knock each other off the "toedium". The organisers take their toe wresting very seriously and there was a 1997 bid to include the sport in the Olympics, but it was ultimately unsuccessful.
Lawn Mower racing
There's not only a lawn mower racing competition, but an entire season of racing - though there are more than 40 positions left to fill at some of this year's events. The British Lawn Mower Racing Association bills itself as a cheap way to enjoy "grass roots motor sports" and although it began in West Sussex in 1973, there are now races all over southern England.
Marbles
Ok, we lost this year. A German team dominated the world marble championship, which is held in a pub car park in Tinley Green, Sussex. But just because German players 1st MC Erzgebirge have bought dangerous competition since 2006, don't rule out classic English competitors like Black Dog Boozers. A national game since Elizabethan times, marbles is a true British sport.
