00:17Club on a Friday. Yeah it's going to be very sad for the locals but I'm sure the
00:22renovations it'll look amazing after. My name is Lexi I'm from Wagga but my
00:27sister has a Run Club, Good Energy Run Club and they run from over there every
00:31Friday morning and they won't be able to get their morning coffees every Friday
