Come along and celebrate Northern Ireland's politics.
This summer has seen the launch of the first annual Slugger O Toole Political awards in partnership with Channel 4, MWH Global, Stratagem and Councillor.info.
The awards have their own dedicated website at www.sluggerawards.com
We want to reward better politicians, better politics and better governance as has been demonstrated in the past year. We'd like to reward those who have succeeded in reaching out to the public and involving them more effectively in local governance.
We would also like to highlight the good things that are happening right now in politics, and the awards will aim to reward effort and interactivity with a pat on the back from the blogosphere. A significant part of our focus will be on local democracy and will highlight those who have made local government work more effectively and more democratically.
The Award Categories are as follows
Winners will be presented with a unique caricature of themselves by The Guardian's political cartoonist, Martin Rowson.
Places at the awards evening are limited. Please order your ticket now to avoid disappointment, and don't forget to get your nominations in for the awards. Visit the awards website and follow the links!
Please arrive at 6pm for a prompt 6.30pm start. You will need to print off the acceptance page from this site and bring it along on the night.
Dress Code: Slugger O'Toole is a weblog. Inevitably there will be people there in jeans and t-shirts though we may draw the line at sandals.
Please call Paul Evans (07973 714206) or Gráinne Walsh (028 9087 2800) for further information.

With a range of highly regarded regular posters, including Mick Fealty and former BBC Newsnight Editor, Brian Walker, Slugger aims to connect audiences in Northern Ireland with the rest of the world.
From time to time the website has created substantial debate in given areas. Slugger O'Toole (www.sluggerotoole.com) is a news and research portal, looking at various strands of political aspects of life in Northern Ireland. It has developed a reputation as something of an insider homepage for readers with an interest in Northern Ireland s politics.
Slugger brings together comment from a full range of the political spectrum that should be of interest to the specialist and the general reader.
