The Renfrew Amateur Wrestling Club is on the cusp of a special anniversary and plans are in the works for a tournament and dance that will reunite many of those involved with the successful local club over the years.REGION REGION To celebrate 25 years since its inception, RAWC will host the Norm Bujold Rumble on Saturday, Feb. 13, followed by a banquet and dance that will offer the opportunity to trade stories, share memories and reminisce with the .COM many athletes, coaches, parents and other club supporters who have contributed to the success of the organization. It was 1985 when RAWC co-founder Grant Lavallee and teacher Jim McGregor got a wrestling program up and running at Central Public School. “We used to take busloads of kids to Brampton,” said Lavallee. “We’d sleep on the mats and oh – the noise. Jim McGregor could sleep through anything. I was awake all night.” In 1991, Roy Ellis, who had a son wrestling at high school, suggested the club be formed and after the group was named, Norm Bujold became the first president.“We had some older wrestlers and some parents. Rick Klinowski, the old wrestling coach, was part of the board,” said Lavallee. “We started from there with a shoestring budget and we did some fundraising. Our first fundraiser was held at the old Butson’s.”

Every year during the holiday season, there is a special night for Admaston-Bromley Township. Council honoured 11 outstanding citizens in the township with community awards for their efforts over the past year and beyond. It’s an event Mayor Michael Donohue certainly looks forward to, thanking the people of the community. “The community is the people that make this place hum and makes this place tick,” he said. “I always look forward to both this evening and to Canada Day.” Mayor Donohue and clerk treasurer Annette Louis made the presentations to this year’s recipients.

Renfrew Amateur Wrestling Club coaches Grant Lavallee, left, and Norm Bujold, hope to rustle up some support for the Feb. 13 Norm Bujold Rumble, a wrestling tournament and dinner/ dance being held to celebrate the club’s 25th anniversary. Bujold recalled there were two local wrestlers going to national championships the year the club was created. “We needed $1,300 to bring them, so a bunch of us got together for that

fundraiser and by the time it was over we had $7,600. We put that in the bank and decided we should start the club,” he said.
