A small town called Willaston in Cheshire every year hosts the rather wonderful World Worm Charming Championships.
The rules are very simple; Competitors are each allotted a 3 x 3-meter plot and given thirty minutes to charm the slimy creatures' topside.
No worms were hurt during the Championships and are given their freedom after the event.
These are the rushes from the day.

It's just that i read someone saying you could catch worms by puting a fork on the ground and "immitating" the rain.

the reason worms surface is they want to escape moles and other ground living mammals from catching them underground. they are safe above ground from the boles.... but still vulnerable... birds are keen too!
