to the „7. Euro Open“, the European Indoor Rowing Championship on
30th/31th  January 2010 in the coliseum of THG-School in Essen-Kettwig!

We are very grateful for the confidence that was placed in us to organise this outstanding
sport event as the beginning of the year as “Capital of Culture” in Europe. Kettwig is an very
beautiful suburb of the metropolis Essen.

Due to the unique atmosphere and the spectator- and media-friendly presentation, Kettwig
became one of the most popular places for the supporters of indoor rowing over the past
ten years.

The event will take place in the coliseum of THG School, which was used for Germanys
number one indoor rowing event, the “NWRV Indoor-Cup” for many years now. Athletes will
find perfect conditions. The enthusiastic spectators will make it a boiling pot the athletes will
never forget.

Besides this very special sports event there are more reasons to come to this town in the
Ruhr area (“Ruhrgebiet”). You will find an big cultural diversity as well here, which is worth a visit.

We are looking forward to welcoming many visitors from near and far and we will do everything
we can to make the “7. Euro Open” a big success.

Yours
EuroOpen Orga-Team2010!
