Test Your Trivia Knowledge Tonight; Help Rowing Club Buy 'Cox Box'

Are you a trivia buff? 

Then head on over to the Democratic Club at 186 Roffee St. in Barrington tonight at 6:30. It’s "Trivia Night" for the East Bay Rowing Club. 

You can test your trivia knowledge and help the club purchase a coxswain’s box for the new season.

What? You don’t know what a coxswain’s box is.

According to Wikipedia, a coxswain’s box, also known as a “cox box," is an electronic device used in competitive rowing that combines a digital stroke rate monitor and elapsed time readout with a voice amplifier.”

A coxswain is the person who sits in the stern of a four-person or eight-person boat, steers it, manages the race and the performance of the crew.  The “cox box” is also linked to loudspeakers so everyone can hear the coxswain’s commands.

Whatever, the rowing club needs a new one. So it’s holding a Trivia Night complete with desserts, prizes and a cash bar.

The cost is $25 per person or $175 for a table of 8 if you can round up a team.

Go to eastbayrowing.org to book your spot. "Trivia Night" runs until 10 pm.
