New Hamburg ROMEOS Calling: Romeo Lunch, October 17, 2013

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, October 17, 2013

Today the Romeos lunched at the Trails Edge in Plattsburg.

The Trails Edge Tavern

Nine members in two cars driven by John Matthews and John Fenwick
arrived at the pub just on 11:30am.

Our waitress decided to seat us at a different area because it would be
more suitable for Carl's wheel chair.

After drinks were served and the toast was made, Ron and Dennis amused
the group with their jokes of the day.

It was good to see John Fenwick again since he has been involved with
working on his retro trailer.

Carl gave us an update on his prothesis which is almost ready for the
necessary testing that follows.

Wray and Diane's renos are nearly finished in the house.

Rick is still considering his trip to Mexico this winter.

Both Johns' are leaving shortly for points south for golf and warmth.

Everyone was glad to see Phil again and we hope we provided enough
depravity and hamburger for his lunch.

Ron got agreement to lunch at the Fireside restaurant on our next outing.

Harry has been requested to find a lunch place for the group after that.

Shortly after 1:00 pm we left to return home, satisfied with the lunch
and friendship that is the Romeos.
