46th ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING
The AGM was held on Tuesday 2 December 2008. Please find below the 46th Annual Report.
A GREAT DAY FOR NORTH EPPING
North Epping Rangers capped off an excellent season with a spectacular Presentation Day on 20 September, 2008. Despite the day falling on the hottest Spring day for 110 years, the traditional march from the corner of Malton and Norfolk Roads was at its colourful best.
Our mini and junior soccer and netball players ran riot at North Epping Oval, enjoying the four 
carnival rides provided for the occasion, face painting, gelato, ice cream, NER tattoos, fairy floss and (courtesy of Bendigo Bank) a sausage sizzle.
Tony Galluzzo, a club life member and proprietor of Galluzzo’s fine foods at North Epping, donated the fireworks display which lit the sky and shook the suburb at 7.00pm.Locals estimate more than 1000 people watched the event from North Epping Oval.
Club Patron, Maxine McKew (MP for Bennelong) presented the John de Gioia Trophy for “Clubperson of the Year” to Helen Armson, our mini soccer coordinator. Helen played a major role in organizing the introduction of the new mini soccer “small sided games” format at Ron Payne Oval, and was also a key figure in ensuring Presentation Day activities were so successful. Joe Calvi, Competition Secretary for North Western Sydney Women’s Soccer, and Stephen Colquhoun, representing GHFA, also made presentations.
Other major awards to distinguished volunteers supporting the club were: 
- SOCCER section person of the year – Michael Stern
- NETBALL section person of the year – Wendy Conlon
- WOMEN’S Soccer person of the year – Bernadette McGuire
