Welcome to our New Hamburg Site. We are a group of men who have adopted the principle of our brethern ROMEO clubs and refer to ourselves as "Retired Outstanding Men Eating Out". Our community is the first Chapter from Canada to be recognized by The ROMEO CLUB Organization. We are delighted to be part of this outstanding concept.
New Hamburg ROMEOS Calling
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'!!

Romeo Luncheon, September 22, 2011
Upon arriving at this establishment the door was still locked after 11:31am.
At this point the Committee was called into question on this turn of affairs!!
What to do??
With true diplomatic tact one of our members banged on the window while
another yelled at shadowy figures seen through the window.
This achieved the result, in that we were confronted by the waitress who informed us that the Royal Constabulary had been called ( A Newfie for sure). This was much better than the riot squad who we know quite well on a first name basis.
It seems that the kitchen was in the throes of being updated and this was taking longer than had been expected; but, we were welcome to enter and place our drink orders.
That satisfied the unclean and unquenched members and we proceeded to partake of their finest.
The food could have been warmer but once the gas is hooked-up we should see
a difference.
