This year we have a very special Guest Speaker:
Adventurer and author, Steve Bell is an author and former Everest mountain guide who finds compelling stories from his life. His first book, Virgin on Insanity, is a coming of age memoir, but his talk will cover his more recent Everest experiences, including the first British guided ascent of Everest in 1993.
In his talk, he will tell his remarkable story of survival set against the loss of his friend, Bruce Herrod.

‘Wow, what a journey….told in a very unassuming and humble way. Steve had our clients on the edge of their seats.’ Financial Lifestyle Partners, 2015.
Steve will also be selling and signing his books on the night, $35 each ($10 off the list price) https://www.amazon.co.uk/Virgin-Insanity-Coming-Toughest-Mountains/dp/1910240834
