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'!!

Romeo Lunch, July 26, 2012

Today, we visited the Waterloo Arms in New Hamburg.
This was the second time that the Romeos have lunched there.
It is convenient and the food and beer are great.
A good following was on hand and the companionship was it's usual
give and take. No quarter given.


We started with Ken Mulholland citing Carl as being recognized by
the whisky industry, namely Wisers, as one of two experts on the
design and production of this whisky. The Chapter was not surprised.


This was followed by Ross Shaver sharing his blonde joke story which
was acceptable in any public house and received the kudos it deserved.
