History
In the early 1960s rowing was not yet possible in Enschede. In those years, the University of Twente was founded on the Drienerlo estate. On April 8, 1965 the Drienerlose Watersport Association Euros was founded.[8] In the early years, the club consisted almost entirely of competition rowers. Then, in the 1980s, club rowing was introduced to make the step up to competition rowing easier. In 1978, Euros (with about 40 competition rowers out of less than 70 members) received an award from the Royal Dutch Rowing Federation as the most successful senior club in the Netherlands.
In 1995 Euros won the Varsity, with Sjors van Iwaarden, Niels van Steenis, Joris Loefs and Arne van Eupen. Jeroen Webers steered the boat, the Barfleur. The team was coached by success coach Rutger Röell.[9] In 1996 Euroïd Niels van Steenis won gold at the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta in the Holland Eight.[10]
Since 1999 the club is located in the University Watersports Complex of the University of Twente at the Auke Vleerstraat. In 2018, Euroïde Minke Holleboom finished second at the 2018 World Rowing U23 Championships in the W4x field.[11]
