Description

 

On Wednesday 27th November the Security Risk Management Alumni will be hosting our last Networking evening of 2019. This event is taking place at the Courthouse Hotel, Great Marlborough St, Soho, London, where you will have the opportunity to network with like-minded individuals from across both the public and private Security Sectors in the comfort of an ideally positioned location. We are honoured and delighted to welcome fresh from his most recent adventure Nirmal Purja (Nims) MBE to the SRM Alumni stage as our Guest Speaker for the night. Nims is a Nepalese mountaineer & former Gurkha and Special Boat Service (SBS) soldier, an elite special forces unit of the United Kingdom ‘s Royal Navy.

 

There are only 14 mountains on earth higher than 8,000m – the ‘death zone’ – and they are all located in the Himalayas. Project Possible was an extraordinary attempt by Nirmal Purja (Nims) to climb all 14 peaks in just 7 months. He did this in just 6 months and 6 days. The previous world record for one individual climbing all 14 peaks was 7 years, 11 months and 14 days (held by Jerzy Kukuczka). Nims has completed the expedition with a rotating support team of Nepalese climbers. This was just one of his challenges. We’ll let the man himself tell you his story and that of the 6 New World Records.

 

We kindly ask Guests to arrive at the Courthouse Hotel promptly at 7pm-7:30pm, where you will receive welcome drinks and be able to listen to the welcoming speech from a member of the SRM Alumni team. We will then invite you into the cinema room where I’m sure Nims will give you one of the most Motivational/Inspirational talks you will have heard. There will be a further selection of complimentary Drinks available (Beer, Wine and Soft Drinks) as well as canapes throughout the night. Once this runs dry, there will be a cash bar available with the evening ending around 11pm. Tickets for this event to SRM Alumni members are £20 and £30 to Guests.

 

The Dress Code for the evening is Smart/Casual Dress (no Trainers).
