Nov 2024 Peter served as AMOC Vic President for approximately 9 years and continues to hold positions on the committee. He has been a very active and influential member of the AMOC UK committee of management, the “COM”. His passion for the club is evident in many ways, from his leadership in rewriting of the constitution, to his dedication in organising countless events over the years. A standout achievement was his leadership in delivering the AMOC Victorian National in 2022.

Nov 2024 Anne has been an active heavy lifting member of the committee as events coordinator for many years. She provided event management coordination, spending hours at home preparing fine detail adornments for events and managed all - from unfortunate non attendances to accommodating last minute attendees. Her meticulous planning and attention to detail have been instrumental to the success of every event. Anne's commitment was particularly evident in the Victorian National, where she ensured every T was crossed and every i dotted. This culminated in the National running like clockwork and an event that continues to be remembered by all.

In 2013, he stepped into the role of Assistant President & Area Rep, continuing to support the club's leadership and members in this capacity for almost a decade, until 2022.

Paul Sabine's love of cars began in childhood, watching them pass by from his grandmother's front garden. His first car was an MGA, and his first taste of motorsport came racing an MG at the Winton 6 Hour around 1966. Paul purchased his first Aston Martin, a DB4 Series 2, while in the UK in 1967/68, beginning a lifelong association with the marque. He re-entered Aston ownership in 1977 with a DBS and became deeply involved with AMOC, convening the 1978 Shepparton National and later events in 1980, 1982 and 1992, and was awarded the Oscar Ruegg Trophy by AMOC. Paul built a long career in classic cars, founding Tickford Sales in 1980, convening the Melbourne Classic Car Show through the 1980s, serving as Auction Director for the first Australian Grand Prix Auction in 1996, and co-founding Brooklands Classic Cars. A dedicated historic racer from 1985 to 2017 across marques including Aston Martin, Jaguar, Porsche and Chevrolet, Paul has also maintained an extensive historical archive of pre-DB7 Aston Martins and Lagondas for 50 years, which he generously shares with fellow members. In recognition of his enormous contribution to the club and the marque, Paul was honoured with Life Membership.
