New Hamburg ROMEOS Calling

The original purpose of the group was to bring together new neighbours who had moved from other parts of the Province of Ontario and also from other Provinces of Canada to our community of New Hamburg.



Initially the group was only composed of men from one street of the community but it has expanded to other areas as the need required. Initially the ROMEOS were run as a unique and isolated entity because the members had not been exposed to or were aware of the Organization's history and development. It only adopted the ROMEO name when it was found and referenced in a novel read by a member's wife.



The founding members then proceeded to allocate 'call signs' to each new participant based upon the Greek alphabet, Alpha to Omega, and grant a scroll to the new members.



Presently, we have 20 members as of January 1, 2013. This reflects a fluctuation of new and removed members from our inception. We may have to find a new alphabet very soon to maintain newer 'call signs'!!

Today the Members of the Chapter were greeted at the Failte Irish Pub

In the Irish, Failte means 'Welcome'.



Failte built in 1865

This lunch was attended by 6 members who enjoyed the coziness of the bar area.

Attendees:John Fenwick, driver
Ron Lewis, Ross Shaver, Phil Thomas, Bob Curry, Dennis Savage

The ale and beer were as expected for an Irish pub and the menu was good.

Cheers
