BSS Belfast Raise £420.00 for the McMillian Cancer Coffee Morning.
Thanks to the efforts of all the BSS Staff for supporting a very worth while cause we raised a total of £210.00 which was kindly doubled to £420.00 by our managing director Willie McKee.
In frame are Willie, Anne Moss and the famous Rosi 'Lancette Kirker. During the course of 2009, Rosi was diagnosed with a form of bowl cancer. Not the type of lady to let a little thing like that slow her down, Rosi rallied the troops in the office to support the UK largest coffee morning. Well if anyone knows Rosi, this was not going to be just any coffee morning; this had to be a blow out of biblical proportions.
Conrad Traynor (Coffee Buff) not only ground and supplied his own coffee but supplied a very shinny looking coffee machine that made the most divine roast coffee I have ever had the pleasure of drinking. Con buys and blends his own beans so anything else would just be wrong.
Paul (Walk about Watson) commissioned his mother, a semi pro baker to the local church to make and supply two of the largest pavalova I have ever seen or tasted. Mrs Watson can bake them all day long and we would find a home for them.
My daughter (Princess Megan) made a beautiful sponge cake and decorated it in the McMillian logo. Not only did it go down well but it received the most ahhhhhhhhh of the day.
As usual ‘Mrs Moss’ or mother to the BSS crew took charge of the proceedings and delivered one of the best break times I have ever attended. I say break time, cuz it lasted from than a coffee or tea break. The rest of the team, Linda, Jenny, Sandra and some of the engineers all chipped in to supply tray bakes and buns.
Oh, one can’t forget the cake Rosi made. Noted as a Jami Oliver special and filled with fresh cream and nuts, there was no one getting seconds.
Dean had the best seat in the house as all the kit was served from his table.

As a follow up to this and to raise more funds for Rosi’s chosen charity, Chris Birt (Dancing Boy) is organising a cycle from the University of Ulster to the Bar in Cutters Warf. Now there’s a surprise.
