| The 2003 race between Ortner BC and RUBC was organised at late notice, however this did not affect the fun of the day. |
| The race was held over 500m, shortened yet again to minimalise the influence that fitness has on the results. The the verdict was a win for the University, yet again, by a distance of 3/4 length. This was a very good performance from the Ortner Boys as much of the crew has not sat in a boat since last years challenge. |
| The customary BBQ and beers followed the racing and the day was rounded off by a night of dancing at the Union. |
| Let us know if you have any photos of the day. |
