18 items that represent multiple Israeli realities from 1948 to the present day.
After this interactive presentation, there will be plenty of time for Q&A and to give you opinions on the past, present and future of the Jewish state!
Cost £7.50 including light refreshments

Two tables tied for first place; the tie-breaker won by Robin Muswellʼs table ashis answer was the closest number of Spurs supporters at the game that afternoon. Thanks are due to all the organisers, quizmasters, and everyone who supported this.
