Romeo & Juliet Luncheon, December 29, 2011

Hail Romeos,

As the last luncheon for 2011, we were privileged to be accompanied by 

our Juliets to Kennedy's Pub in St. Agatha.

In all, there were 9 couples less 1 who answered the call. Unfortunately, a few 

were not able to join us because of prior commitments at this busy time 

of the year.

Our Beta member, Ron Lewis, opened the lunch by reviewing the critical 

words that are used by wives during 'dialogues' with their spouses, with 

the warning that the true meaning of certain words is quite different and 

must be observed at all times or we could risk the wrath that will follow.

Ron also explained the rules that all our members must observe. No Rules.

Attending was Wray Krompart, a new member who was inducted into the 

Chapter by his sponsor, George Heath.

The other inductee who was called away at the last minute, Jon Knight, 

will be presented with his certificate by Jack Davies, who is his sponsor,

at a later time.

As requested by the Committee, a suitable decorum was observed by 

our ladies; however the Romeos had no objection to table dancing by the same.

This was a challenge, that some of the ladies accepted, and in due course 

the Romeos were entertained by Lyn, Elaine and Marilyn. 

It can be said that no monies changed hands. 

It might also be added that no Romeo in the room could even think of 

matching this accomplishment. 

It's doubtful they have the energy but certainly they don't have the body.

Book 'em John!!!Use the hand cuffs!

Well done ladies!!!

Afterwards, all agreed that this special lunch at year end with the Juliets, 
was a success, and should be repeated in future years. 

Romeo Luncheon, December 15, 2011

The Romeos went to a new restaurant that has just opened in New 
Hamburg called 'My Place, the Restaurant' run by a husband and wife.
Before opening, they updated the ambiance from a sport's bar 
to a cosy eatery.

Our only hesitation was the fact that you have to climb a number 
of steps to the second floor and we discussed this with some 
members who might have trouble. 
Fortunately, all members were able to negotiate the steps.

We were warmly greeted by the owner who took our drink orders.
There were 9 of us at a grouping of tables with ample room to socialize.


Very soon after 12:00 noon various customers entered and soon most 
of the tables were taken.


The menu was quite extensive with a breakfast serving until 2:00pm,
as well as the normal fare and of course the Greek dishes. Our orders 
were taken and the food arrived in good time and all members were 
satisfied that they had a new restaurant to visit near home.


It was suggested that since the next outing would be December 29, 2011, 
we might consider inviting our partners to join us in the spirit of Christmas. 


All in all, we will return when the occasion permits. 

Romeo Luncheon, December 1, 2011

Once again the Romeos met at Jake and Humphreys in downtown New Hamburg.


A complement of 10 attended and I believe we were the only ones for lunch.


This was fine, since we had the whole bistro to ourselves and the rapt attention 
of the waitress, which meant fast service on the libations for which we appreciate.
The meals were presented to the members in good time and were presented well.

Ivan was in good spirits, since he had the second eye done on cataracts and could now see in colour. It's been so long that he thought coke was green?


Brian is not heading south till the end of the year.


Jack is still going for tests but is still persevering with his feet. Hold in there Jack!!


Ken Mulholland has just returned from his caucus in Turkey and happy to be home.


Ken Moorehead and Evelyn are looking forward to their upcoming vacation in 
the Dominican Republic.
Ken will once again be given the onerous task of rating the 'open adult' beaches. 
Such a problem!!


A good time was had by all and we look forward to our next outing.
