00:00It is an historic day as we remove and relocate the statue of John Kennedy Senior

00:05and it will go in for a little bit of restoration. The birds have had a bit of a field day on

00:11John's statue but yeah it will be refurbished a bit and then it will head across to the Kennedy

00:19Community Centre over the next few days and right now the club is in the process of moving from

00:26Bunjil Begora Waverley Park into the Kennedy Community Centre so over the course of the

00:30next week our club moves officially and formally over to the Kennedy Community Centre which we're

00:47and would refuse to come on the basis that it's not about me you know but he would argue that

00:55it's probably more like a dictatorship up there and then pulling the statue down and getting

01:01rid of him would consider it he would consider that more appropriate but nonetheless he would
