Of course, the main prize is still being able to claim the kudos as the 2011 Great BIG Politics Quiz champions. Last year it was SDLP South Belfast team Stoops to Conquer, but who will claim the title this year..?
Whoever triumphs on the night, the real winners will be the beneficiaries in Haiti, being helped by charity the Haven Partnership to secure newly-built homes, where currently they live in slums without even access to clean running water.
